  • Electrical characteristics of the conditioners
  • Zero and gain adjustable via software
  • Data acquisition synchronized on all channels
  • 8 analogical outputs corresponding to each channel for possible use of an external data acquisition system
  • Displacement
  • Strain
  • Auto-diagnostic system including oil level and oil filter obstructed
  • Phisical specifications
  • SERCOMP 7 ROCK
  • PC and SOFTWARE
  • PC and printer of the latest generation
  • Remotely control the entire system. Display graphical and numerical data including multi-plot mode, e.g. 3 different deformation curves with respect to a single time axis
  • Execute tests and sequences of steps/cycles programmable by the user
  • Print out test reports
  • Allow the real time modification of the test parameters during the test execution, including active control channel

Features

  • Axial load and sample strength
  • Hoek cell confining pressure
  • Sample deformation measured by strain gauges and external displacement transducers
  • Axial and horizontal stresses are increased hysotropically up to a defined level
  • Cell pressure is maintained constant and axial stress is increased
  • When the sample approximates maximum strength, the cell pressure is automatically increased up to a defined level
  • Cell pressure is again maintained constant and axial stress is increased
  • When the sample again approximates maximum strength, the cell pressure is further increased
Show 12 more features
  • The above procedure is automatically repeated several times
  • Maximum peak strength is reached and, in case of displacement control, the test is continued (softening phase)
  • Cell pressure is reduced in steps and, for each step, the residual strength is measured
  • All the maximum peak loads are plotted against corresponding values of cell pressure building the complete failure path.
  • Advanced testing system suitable for extremely variable materials, from soft sandstone to high-strength marbles
  • Determination of Elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio and strength characteristics of rock specimens under uniaxial and triaxial conditions
  • Automatic performance of triaxial tests with combined control of axial load and confining pressure
  • Multiple failure stages triaxial test (stress – path mode) carried out automatically, the entire failure path is derived from a single specimen including post-peak softening phase
  • Also suitable for load, stress, displacement and strain-controlled testing on concrete, fibre-reinforced and shotcrete specimens (with the relevant options and accessories)
  • Fully programmable test procedures including axial load and confining pressure levels and combinations
  • Integrated data acquisition and results elaboration including failure envelope plotting
  • Extremely flexible system ideal for research purposes
