Charpy Rack Accessories, CRA-4 and CRA-8
The FTS Systems CharpyCool™ is compatible with Charpy Rack Accessories CRA-4
and CRA-8. The CRA-4 accessory, designed for use with the 4-liter bath, holds 5
charpy racks and a total of 65 specimens. The CRA-8 accessory, designed for use
with the 8-liter bath, holds 7 charpy racks and a total of 91 specimens.
A charpy rack is a U-shaped bracket which can hold up to 13 vertically stacked
samples. Each rack is held in place on one side by sliding onto one of the rods
mounted around the perimeter of the circular base. At the center of the base, the other
sides of the racks rest against one another above a spinning magnet. The speed of
the magnet can be controlled by the Fluid Stir Control Dial.
Note: Remove the Magnetic Stirrer from the reservoir before installing the Charpy Rack
Accessory.

Insert the perpendicular appendage at the top of a rack into the corresponding
1.
hole at the bottom of the white lifting handle.
Turn the black knob at the top of the lifting handle clockwise to secure the

Once the handle is secured to the rack, the handle can be used to lift the rack
3.
up, sliding it off the rod that holds the rack to the base.
To release the rack from the handle, simply turn the black lifting handle knob
4.
counterclockwise and slide the handle away from the rack so that the rack
appendage is released from the hole in the handle.
