FAQs of PERMEABILITY TEST SYSTEM:
Q: How does the PERMEABILITY TEST SYSTEM work for measuring permeability?
A: The system measures the permeability of soil or rock samples by allowing water or air to flow through the test specimen under controlled pressures. Measurements are captured using either a precision graduated cylinder or an electronic flow sensor, ensuring highly accurate and repeatable results.
Q: What are the benefits of using this system in a laboratory setting?
A: Using the PERMEABILITY TEST SYSTEM offers precise, standard-compliant results due to its high accuracy (100%), adjustable controls, and efficient sample handling. The systems digital display, customizable settings, and data output capabilities enhance laboratory productivity and data management.
Q: When is on-site calibration necessary for this equipment?
A: On-site calibration is recommended if there are changes in laboratory conditions, after significant use, or following internal relocation of the device. While the system comes factory calibrated, periodic on-site calibration ensures sustained measurement accuracy.
Q: Where can the system be optimally used?
A: The equipment is designed for laboratory use, operating efficiently within temperature range of 1540C (non-condensing). Its compact dimensions (600 x 400 x 500 mm) and robust construction make it suitable for both academic and industrial research laboratories.
Q: What process should be followed to test different sample diameters?
A: To test non-standard sample sizes, select the custom size option during setup. The system accommodates different sample diameters, ensuring secure placement within the test cell and adjusting controls as needed for accurate result acquisition.
Q: How do the safety features and design benefit users?
A: Safety features such as overload protection and a leak-proof design protect users and the equipment, reducing risks during operation. The robust construction with powder-coated mild steel and stainless steel fittings adds to the devices reliability and lifespan.
