Aggregate & Rocks Testing
ELASTIC MODULUS OF ROCK SPECIMENS IN UNIAXIAL AND TRIAXIAL TESTS
Hydraulic systemIt is an hydraulic installation and has a high performance valve directly controlled by the digital unit that grants the automatic control ofthe pace rate increasing the load, keeps a certain load and then controls the pace rate decreasing the load.The setting of the pace rate is regulated by a very sensitive valve controlled by a stepper motor that allows a micrometric action on thepace rate granting excellent results in the control of the load.A laser position detector allows a rapid positioning of the piston and a very accurate touch point. This grants a touching sensitivity oftest starting of about 0.1 per thousand of the maximum capacity. When used in conjunction with the C104MLPP (see p. 70) for theapplication of the confining pressure, the hydraulic system permits to maintain the pre-load level with extremely high accuracy.
Electronic measuring systemThe high performance control and data processing unit controlled by a 32 bit microprocessor can manage up to 16 high resolution(24 bits) channels for the control of load cells, transducers and strain gauges.The system processes the signals coming from the load cells and from the extensometers giving all the results required for a furtherprocessing following the most updated standards for this application.
In-built firmware for elastic modulus on rocksThe firmware allows to set the initial parameters and to obtain final results locally, according to the relevant Standards. The PCsoftware can be purchased separately (see accessories).
The user must enter data concerning the specimen that will be tested and the kind of test that he wants to make: dimensions, age of thespecimen, average expected breaking value, etc. The appliance allows verifying the proper reading of the extensometers and, if everything iswithin the expected tolerances, it manages the average deformation value read by the transducers and processed by the digital unit.With code SSW-UTM2, all tests data are transmitted through a serial communication port RJ45 (Network Connection) to a Personal Computer,that can already belong to the end user or be supplied separately (not included with the Software).This data will be processed by the software and transformed in a graph load/deformation and load/time, following the specific Standards.
