Project Case
Model:ETAS, HPETAS
Use:The high pressure environmental triaxial system (HPETAS) cell can be fitted with a heating or cooling system that is automatically controlled alongside the whole system via software
Standard:GBT 50123-2019
Key features | Benefits to the user |
---|---|
Heating & Cooling Options:
-30oC to +65oC
-20oC to +80oC
-10oC to +65oC
|
The cooling system uses a coiled tube section inside the cell, this is connected through the standard ports within the cell base to a glycol cooling unit allowing temperature transfer close to the specimen. |
Optional Heating Only System: Ambient to 60oC Ambient to 100oC |
The heating system works using thermal pads attached to the outside of the triaxial cell then enclosed within an environmental chamber to retain the heat. There are up to 4 temperature sensors relaying back to the control box for enhanced temperature accuracy. |
High Pressure (Up to 100MPa): | High Pressure combined with low temperature make it ideal for Gas Hydrate testing. |
Gas Hydrate Testing (Gaseous back pressures): | The ETAS can be adapted for gaseous back pressures such as Air, Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen or Methane for Gas Hydrate testing. |
Frozen Soil Testing: | Cooling to -40oC provide ideal conditions for frozen soil testing. |
Load Range (kN) |
