Foot Pump To Apply Pressure

Lateral Pressure Assembly

  1. The apparatus consists of a pressure chamber which has a flanged top cap fitted with a 10 Kg/Cm2 Pressure gauge and a valve for pumping in air. Water inlet and drain cock are fitted to the chamber. The foot pump supplied easily develops a pressure of 10 Kg/Cm2. Complete with connecting pressure hose.

Electronic Data Acquisition

  1. The TWO Channel micro controller base signal conditioning & touch panel display unit is suitable to measure Axial Load & vertical displacement directly indicated in their respective engineering units during Triaxial testing. The system receives the output signal from the sensor i.e Load cell attached to the Triaxial Shear Test apparatus. The data of all two channels of Triaxial shear test can be transferred to computer through Ethernet & can be online monitored. The unit also provides the facility of online monitoring of data of all the sensor on Touch Panel Display provided at the front. Broadly the following facilities are incorporated in the system:
  2. Touch Panel is provided to perform various operations such as TARE,PROGRAMMING,START,STOP etc  
  3. Automatic data saving on stop bottom there are 25 set result having maximum of 200 data points per set can be stored in the electronic unit. The sample number can be programmed.
  4. Online data & time of test will be stored along with the data.
  5. Online (while the test is in progress) data transfer to the computer through Ethernet port.
  6. Note - The Electronic unit operates on 220V AC+ 10%,50Hz
