High-Pressure High-Temperature Triaxial System (HP HT)

These advanced rock testing plants enable our customers to meet all test requirements in rock research testing.

The modular systems can be configured with various types of hydraulic actuators with different load ranges, a variety of test jigs, triaxial cells with different specimen diameter and pressure ranges, pressure controllers as well as different sensors with the necessary attachments.

Advanced software packages and further accessories can also be arranged to suit your specific testing needs.
The systems are able to test a range of materials from soft rock (e.g. sandstone) to hard rock and building materials with high-strength.

A variety of jigs and attachments to perform uniaxial compressive strength, triaxial strength, post failure, bending, indirect tensile, direct tensile, fracture toughness, creep, flexural and cyclic loading tests are available.

GEOsys software for user defined freely programmable test standard procedures and complex test sequences.

This is implemented by a structured Windows operation on a graphic user interface for controlling and data acquisition software. This is used for closed-loop controlled static & dynamic applications in material testing (rock and concrete) with freely programmable test sequence control and formula editor functions.

Through a series of menus, this provides quick access to all the controls needed for test set-up and follows
standard test sequences.

The software is able to create an unlimited number of test stages with interactive and calculated para meters
for closed-loop control in real time. An unlimited number of control and measuring channels can be
simultaneously controlled.

  • Possibility to accept different modules for extra test
  • Individually configurable data acquisition (collecting rate, parameter setting, recording type, such as ASCII)
  • Interactive changing of test parameters for all channels or test devices during the application
  • Various platforms for operators and different users for system parameter settings (configuration, PID parameters, transducer configuration, ranges plausibility)
  • Self-diagnosis and automatic alerts when a problem occurs. When a sudden power failure occurs, the system automatically saves data and takes self-protective measures and has an overload protection
