A new spectrophotometric test has been developed that offers a faster, quantitative (digital) measurement for active clay in green sands and does not require extensive training or experience. In this study, this new alternative test is optimized and evaluated at three foundries to determine viability as an alternative measurement of active clay in working foundry green sand systems. The trials were conducted and optimized over two rounds of foundry testing.
