Triaxial - Ancillary

28-WF0194/3
 
This section includes products that can be used in combination with triaxial systems. Consolidation bench for triaxial cells for performing anisotropic consolidation and permeability cell with toxic interface chamber for performing permeability test on contaminated soil samples.

Consolidation Bench for Triaxial Cells

Used for reducing testing time for triaxial tests, where only one compression machine is available.

28-WF0493 with triaxial cells, dial gauges, beam loading devices and weights.
Description

 

The apparatus has been designed to reduce the testing time for triaxial tests, where only one compression machine is available. With this equipment it is possible to perform the consolidation stage of three triaxial specimens at the same time for CU and CD tests in anisotropic conditions.
The apparatus consists of a steel bench complete with three load frames and centering platens, for all our triaxial cells (28-WF0410/B, 28-WF0411/B, 28-WF0416/B, 28-WF4050, 28-WF4070, 28WF4100) for specimens 35 to 100 mm dia. It can also be used for other make of triaxial cells, provided that they are equipped with a centering hole 13 mm dia. x 3 mm deep. Each consolidation frame can be equipped with a beam loading device to reduce the number of dead weights required for anisotropic consolidation (see accessories). Weights can be placed on both the centre hanger and on the lever hanger. The weights of the loading frames have been reduced to minimum so that a counterbalance of the frame is not required.

Standard complete configuration is composed by: 
– Consolidation Bench for triaxial cells
– Beam loading device (see accessories)
– Slotted weights (see aaccessories) 
– Axial displacment trasducers (see related products)
– Pressure system (see related products)
– Pressure trasducers (see related products)
– volume change (see related products)
– Data acquisition system (see related products) 

Main Features

Permeability Cells

Used in conjunction with toxic interface chamber for measuring permeability in contaminated soil.

Standards BS 1377:6 ASTM D5084 EN 17892-11

28-WF0194/A
Description

 

The permeability cell is available with stainless steel valves for use with contaminated soils.
The toxic interface chamber 28-WF0194/3 is recommended to be fit between control panel and permeability cells to avoid toxic permeants from entering control panel.
This also prevents contact of air with the permeant, thus no toxic or corrosive vapours can escape into the laboratory.

Standard complete configuration is composed by: 

– Permeability cell with accessoreis
– Toxic interface chamber (see accessories)
– Air/water interface pressure system  (see related products)
– Volume change apparatus (see related products)
– Pressure transducers (see related products)
– Data acquisition system (see related products)
– De – airing water system (see related products)

Main Features

 

  • Brand new technology including the revolutionary EmS actuator
  • Silent and cool
  • Interchangeable transducers and load cells with “plug and play” signal conditioners allowing quick and easy transition of test set-up.
  • Easy-to-use and ergonomic testing system
  • Clarity in results with the 3rd Generation Integrated Multi Axis Control System (IMACS2)
  • Fully integrated and very compact in design, perfect solution for both static and mobile testing facilities
  • Optional air compressor that comes integrated into the machine
  • All-in-One computer control with the latest All-in-One touchscreen PC technology
  • Data output is fully compatible with FHWA FlexMAT™ and FlexPAVE™ software
  • Granting high quality to NCHRP 9-29 (all temperatures including 4 ° C are restored in less than 5 ‘after sample setup)
  • Including water cooling unit for temperature conditioning 

EmS technology’s main benefits:

  • Improved dynamic performance over servo-pneumatics
  • Stand-alone with no need of compressed air supply
  • Lower maintenance
  • Robust and durable giving a more resilient solution
  • Compact design requiring, in general, a smaller footprint
  • Easy to use
