FAQs of Swell Pressure Apparatus:

Q: How does the Swell Pressure Apparatus operate during soil testing?

A: The apparatus works by applying measured pressure, via a precision load frame and plunger, on soil samples placed in its chamber. The dial gauge records vertical swell, while the pressure gauge with 0.01 kg/cm resolution accurately captures the equivalent swelling pressure developed in the sample during water saturation.

Q: What kind of samples can be analyzed with this equipment?

A: It is suitable for round soil samples with diameters ranging from 38 mm up to 100 mm. The apparatus can be customized to handle various diameters within this range, making it versatile for different research and industrial requirements.

Q: When is it ideal to use the Swell Pressure Apparatus in the laboratory process?

A: The apparatus should be employed during soil characterization or geotechnical investigations, particularly when assessing the swelling behavior and pressure exerted by expansive soils upon water absorption, which is crucial before construction or foundation planning.

Q: Where is the SPL-SPA01 typically used and supplied from?

A: This device is used in soils and geotechnical laboratories in research institutions, universities, and civil engineering industries. It is manufactured and exported from India, supplied in export-quality wooden packaging for global and domestic laboratories.

Q: What is the process for measuring vertical swell and pressure with this device?

A: First, prepare and insert the soil specimen in the chamber. Fill the water reservoir (2 L capacity) and allow water to contact the sample. As the sample swells, the vertical movement is measured by the dial gauge (0.01 mm least count), and the corresponding pressure is recorded via the pressure gauge, within the 0-5 kg/cm range.

Q: How does using this apparatus benefit laboratory soil analysis?

A: The equipment offers high accuracy (100%) and efficiency, allowing reliable, reproducible swell pressure data vital for safe infrastructure design in areas with expansive soils. Its customizable capacity and robust materials ensure longevity and adaptability for repeated laboratory use.
