Oil and Water Constant Pressure System
The Oil and Water Constant Pressure Unit is extremely versatile and can be used in conjunction with a wide range of test equipment. The unit provides continuous variable pressure up to 1700 kPa. Pressure is increased or decreased simply by turning a control knob.
The Unit is used for providing cell/back pressure in triaxial tests. The apparatus is supplied without a gauge for those customers who have suitable pressure monitoring equipment.
As optional equipment for monitoring the pressure of the unit;
• The Digital Pressure Gauge (UTGE-3554) or
• The pressure transducer (UTGM-1420) which can be used with UTouch Control Unit on the Multiplex Universal Electromechanic Test Machine (UTM-0108.SMPR) for only UU test or
• The pressure transducer (UTGM-1420) which should be used with UTCU-0020 for CU-CD tests
can be used and prefered optional equipment should be ordered separately.
The machine features a clear hydraulic/water interface reservoir and up to 1 liter capacity of water is available under pressure. Supplied complete with 2 liters of No.46 regular hydraulic oil.
