FAQs of Unconfined Compression Tester-Digital:
Q: How does the Unconfined Compression Tester-Digital measure and display test data?
A: It uses a precision load cell to measure force, and a digital encoder to capture deformation rates, both of which are processed by a microprocessor and displayed on a digital LED or LCD screen. Data can be exported to a PC via RS232 or USB interface.
Q: What is the process for calibrating this tester, and who can perform it?
A: The tester comes factory calibrated for immediate use, but users can easily recalibrate it as needed using the provided instructions to ensure continued accuracy over time.
Q: When should I use this equipment for soil testing?
A: This tester is ideal for use whenever unconfined compressive strength needs to be determined, particularly during soil characterization in laboratory or mobile field settings for construction or geotechnical projects.
Q: Where can the Unconfined Compression Tester-Digital be operated?
A: Thanks to its robust design and portability, the tester is suitable for laboratory benches and mobile setups, accommodating environments with temperatures from 0C to 50C and humidity up to 95% RH (non-condensing).
Q: What accessories are included with the tester for sample preparation?
A: The tester comes equipped with a specimen mould, a trimmer, and a sample extractor to aid in preparing and handling soil samples for accurate testing results.
Q: How does the overload protection feature work?
A: The system includes an electronic cut-off mechanism that automatically halts operation if loads above the machines threshold are detected, ensuring safety of both user and equipment.
Q: What benefits does digital control offer during testing?
A: Digital control enables precise test speed adjustment, real-time data monitoring, and easy switching between automatic and manual operation, resulting in consistent and reliable testing outcomes.
