The STDDPC, typically operating at
3MPa/200cc, provides a cost-effective direct replacement for
conventional soil mechanics laboratory pressure sources and volume
change gauges. Above all, the device has its own computer interface
and so can be controlled directly from a computer. It is ideal as a
back pressure source where it can also measure the change in volume
of the test specimen. Also, it automatically protects itself from
pressure and volume over-ranges.
In stand-alone mode, the instrument is a
constant pressure source which can replace traditional laboratory
pressure sources such as mercury column, compressed air, pumped oil
and dead weight devices. It is also a volume change gauge resolving
to 1 cu mm.
Recently upgraded to a version 2 unit, advantages over the version 1
standard controller include;
• USB connectivity,
• Faster Fill / Empty and pressure seek speeds,
• Lighter and with a smaller footprint.
