About lateral pressure assembly

Specification:

A lateral pressure assembly spec details the specifications of equipment used to apply cell pressure to specimens in triaxial soil testing, including pressure capacity (e.g., 10 kg/cm), power requirements (e.g., 220-230V, manual or semi-automatic operation), materials (steel, stainless steel), and components like pressure gauges, pumps, and chambers. The exact specifications vary by application and manufacturer, but a typical assembly includes a pressure chamber for triaxial specimens, a pressure gauge to monitor cell pressure, and a mechanism like a foot pump or motor for applying and adjusting the pressure.

Common Specifications:

Application:

Primarily used in soil mechanics for triaxial testing to apply cell pressure to a specimen.
Pressure Capacity:

Often around 10 kg/cm, but this can vary depending on the specific model and intended use.
Power Source:
Voltage: Typically 220V or 230V AC.

Frequency: 50-60 Hz.

Operation: Can be manual, semi-automatic, or electro-mechanical with controlled loading.
Materials:

Common materials include stainless steel or mild steel, with brass components also used for pressure-sensitive parts.
Components:
Pressure Chamber: A container that holds the specimen and allows for cell pressure to be applied.

Pressure Gauge: A dial to monitor the applied cell pressure.

Pumping Mechanism: A foot pump or electric system to apply and adjust the pressure.

Accessories: May include flanged top caps, water drains, and air valves.
Automation Grade:

Ranging from purely manual operation to semi-automatic and electro-mechanical designs.
Dimensions & Weight:

These specifications are variable and depend on the design and manufacturer.

FAQ's of lateral pressure assembly:

Q: How is the lateral pressure assembly typically used in soil mechanics laboratories?

A: The assembly is used to apply lateral pressure to soil samples in triaxial and lateral pressure tests, evaluating the mechanical properties of soils for research or construction projects, with precise control and digital monitoring.

Q: What safety features are included in this lateral pressure assembly?

A: This device features an automatic pressure release valve and a robust pressure gauge to prevent accidental overpressure, ensuring safe operation during prolonged or high-pressure tests.

Q: When should de-aired water or glycerine be used as the test fluid?

A: De-aired water is generally preferred for standard soil tests to prevent air entrapment, especially when examining undisturbed samples. Glycerine can be used if a higher viscosity medium is required for specialized conditions.

Q: Where can this equipment be installed and how is it mounted?

A: Designed for laboratory environments, the assembly is intended for bench-top mounting and fits easily within standard soil mechanics labs, thanks to its compact design and accessible interface.

Q: What is the process for calibrating the pressure gauge?

A: Calibration is straightforward using the unit's digital controls and external calibration sources, ensuring measurement accuracy as per laboratory protocols and international standards.

Q: What are the benefits of having a digital/automatic control mode?

A: Digital and automatic controls provide precise adjustment of test parameters, data consistency, and easy monitoring, reducing human error and improving repeatability and reliability of results.
