Auto Pneumatic Pressure Control Systems

Designed for those who want the ultimate in control of their triaxial testing, Humboldt’s automated pressure control triaxial system is a computer-controlled system specifically designed for soil testing laboratories conducting UU, CU and CD Triaxial tests, as well as unconfined compression. It is perfect for large, high-volume labs, as well as those who want to utilize technology to increase staff efficiencies and testing accuracy. This system provides complete control of the testing process including data acquisition.

Available in one or three-cell configurations, our automated control panels can handle your testing needs in stride. And, if you want to increase the number of simultaneous tests you can run, Humboldt’s NEXT software can easily handle a multitude of tests. All you need to do is add cells and the other appropriate equipment to handle your needs.

Humboldt’s automated pneumatic pressure control triaxial system is built around the HM-5240.3F Stand-alone pressure controller. The HM-5240.3F is a fully-automated pneumatic pressure controller, which is highly accurate up to 150psi (1000kpa) in pressure and 100cc (100ml) in volume. It is designed specifically for geotechnical laboratory triaxial testing (UU, CU and CD) and provides control and monitoring of cell pressure, back pressure, pore water measurement and volume change when used with our Elite Series load frames.

The HM-5240 provides four (4) integral and independent data acquisition channels, which can be utilized in stand-alone configuration or accessed through a LAN-networked computer using Humboldt’s NEXT software.
