The Auto Triax-Control Pressure Controller, HM-5820-500.3F, is an automated, hydraulic pressure/volume controller designed to handle saturation, consolidation of a triaxial test sample, as well as permeability tests. It can also perform the triaxial shear function with the use of its integral HM-5020 load frame eliminating the need for a stand-alone load frame. This unit is configurated for high-pressure applications: 0-500psi (3500kpa). The HM-5820-500.3F provides an accurate and compact configuration for performing triaxial and permeability tests without the need for separate distribution panels, while simplifying the tubing and control cable setup. And, with its integral load frame, the HM-5820 provides an extremely compact and organized setup. The HM-5820-500.3F provides four (4) analog input channels (24-bit) for measuring pressures and load, one (1) analog input channel (12-bit) for measuring displacement and three (3) digital encoder inputs for measuring volumes. The HM-5820-500.3F is built around Humboldt’s integral, data logger with its touch-screen control, allowing the HM-5820 to be used as a stand-alone device, capable of full test control and data logging. It can also be controlled by a networked computer at any location with access to the network.
