The invention relates to the technical field of production auxiliary equipment detection of plate type heat exchangers, and discloses a measuring method for the mold clearance of plate molding of a plate type
heat exchanger. According to the method, characteristics of low
hardness of
soft metal materials, good liquidity during
extrusion, and extremely small resilience after molding are employed, lead wires or
tin wires of the
soft metal materials are
cut into a plurality of sections and prepared to
soft metal samples arranged on the internal surface of a lower mold of mold test points, the test points are uniformly, comprehensively, and symmetrically distributed on the internal surface of the lower mold, a proper pressure is applied to the samples on a
hydraulic press for pressing, the mold clearance is filled by the soft
metal materials, the mold clearance is calculated by employing the thickness of the molded soft
metal, and the actual mold clearance of a calendaring mold can be accurately detected. The test method is simple, the precision of the measuring result is high, the consumption of the soft
metal materials is low, and the detection cost is lowered; besides, the
hardness of the soft metal materials is low so that the molding pressure is low, the damage to the internal surface of the mold is prevented, and the service lifetime of the mold is extended.
