Leading Manufacturer, Supplier & Retailer of Deformation Apparatus.
This apparatus enables to test Geological rock samples for stress/strain characteristics under compression, tension and torsion, subjecting pressure up to 5000 bar and temperature up to 1300oC.
It consists of a Torsion actuator, Pressure vessel, Furnace, Multi range load cell, Bubbler, Intensifier, Pore fluid Volumometer and an Axial actuator and is designed to simulate the conditions of earths inner core.
The test specimen can be subjected to an extreme torsional displacement from 5x10-8radians / second to 5x10-3radians / second. The internal electrically heated furnace produces the extreme temperature condition. A hydraulically driven intensifier builds up and holds the confining pressure.The specimen can be subjected to an axial loading of 100kN, with displacement rating from 0.005 m/ second to 500m/second. A specially designed multi range load cell with LVDTs helps in measuring axial displacement, torsional load, and axial load on the specimen.
Pore fluid volumometer enables for a deeper study regarding the effect of pores in the rock samples. The bubbler unit provided helps in detecting any leakage of inert gas from test chamber.
The apparatus has a central Mitsubishi PLC based control system with servo motors for applying and controlling different types of forces. A Eurothem module is used to control temperature. ETAs own developed software interface makes the machine more user friendly.
