Uniaxial Unconfined Compressive Testing Machine (Touch Screen)
Uniaxial Unconfined Compressive Testing Machine is designed to perform Uniaxial Unconfined Compressive Tests to examine the behavior of a soil sample that does not need lateral support under axial load. As a result of this test, the unconfined compressive strength (qu) value and the undrained shear strength (cu) value of cohesive soils are obtained.
The device is composed of a robust and compact two column frame with adjustable upper cross beam driven by an electromechanical ram with a maximum capacity of 50 kN or 100 kN and a data acquisition and processing system.
Two models are available as 50 kN and 100 kN capacity.
The testing speed can be set between 0,5 mm/min to 2 mm/min.
The speed setting of the loading plate is controlled from the digital readout unit.
For safety, the up and down travel of the lower platen is limited the use of limit switches.
The measuring system consists of a 50 kN or 100 kN capacity load cell according to capacity of frame fitted to the upper cross beam to read stability values and the 25 mm Displacement Sensor fitted to the column.
Supplied complete with HİRATEST H-Touch Pro Max Uniaxial Control Unit, 50 kN or 100 kN capacity Load Cell according to capacity of frame, 25 x 0.01 mm Linear potentiometric displacement transducer with holder, Compression Platens with ball seating assembly, HİRATEST H-GUI Uniaxial Software and LAN Connection Cable.
H-TOUCH PRO MAX UNIAXIAL CONTROL UNIT
HİRATEST H-Touch Pro Max Uniaxial Control Unit is designed to control Uniaxial Unconfined Compressive Test Machine by processing of data from displacement transducers which are fitted to the machine.
All the operations of H-Touch Pro Max Uniaxial Control Unit are controlled from the front panel color resistive of TFT-LCD Touchscreen display and function keys.
The Unit can perform Uniaxial Unconfined Compressive Tests as a stand-alone without the use of a PC or with the HİRATEST H-GUI Uniaxial Software and a PC. Control of machine, acquisition of load and displacement data in real time are provided by the unit.
The unit has easy to use menu options.
It displays all menu option listings simultaneously, allowing the operator to access the required option in a seamless manner to activate the option or enter a numeric value to set the test parameters and see all the data while the test running.
