8 mm Pellet Press Die Set

Pellet Die set for making 8 mm (0.315 inch) pellets from powders. 8 mm Pellets Dies have a range of applications. As with 6 mm die sets, 8 mm pellet dies are commonly used for making KBr pellets for FTIR analysis, in which small quantities of powders are mixed with Infrared-transparent KBr (Potassium Bromide) powder before pressing into a pellet and transferring into the FTIR. High compressive stresses can be applied to powders in the 8 mm pellet die sets using low pressing forces. Whilst this can be useful for quickly making pellets, always stay under the recommended load and make sure you stay safe. If you don't have a hydraulic press, for the lower diameter die sets, pressing force can be applied manually with a lever press or arbor press. If you need a slightly difference size for your application.
