Tri-Flex 2 Master Control Panel

Three independent channels of pressure control. Digital pressure display system to an accuracy of± 0.25% of reading within range. User-friendly burette system. Easy removal of burette/annulus assembly forcleaning. Bridging feature to set multiple burette pressures withone regulator. Quick disconnects for easy system setup. Easily expands for multi-cell test.

Straightforward in design, the Tri-Flex 2 Master Control Panel meets the demands for an accurate, yet simple-to-operate panel system for use in triaxial and permeability testing. The panel is easy to operate, with a limited number of controls and an easy-to-read digital pressure display system. Fast, easy connection and removal of additional system components allow quick system setup.

The operator has complete control of system pressure and flow measurements during specimen testing, with three independently-controlled pressure regulators – one for confining or cell pressure; one for lower or pore/head pressure; and one for upper or back/tail pressure. The bridging feature lets the operator quickly set the pressures of multiple burette systems with just one regulator.

Each burette/annulus assembly has a selector which opens or closes the access to the annulus. When opened, up to 400 ml of water is available to the operator for specimen saturation and other test stages without refilling the burette assembly. By a simple flip of a switch to activate the digital pressure display system, any of the regulated pressures can be displayed in digital form to an accuracy of ± 0.25% of reading within range.

The Tri-Flex 2 Master Control Panel is designed in full compliance with ASTM and AASHTO specifications for use in the application, monitoring and data recording of test conditions.

Soil Testing - Grain Size Analysis

Rapid Moisture TestersASTM D-4944; AASHTO T-217.

Reliable and accurate moisture measurement in thefield.Direct-reading in percent moisture.Rapid results in minutes.Easy-to-use — includes simple step-by-stepinstructions.Electronic balance included as standard.

The rapid moisture testing kit’s available from ELE-Soiltest includes two models, both containing all items required and an electronic balance for weighing samples all included in heavy-duty case.

The durable case offers the highest level of protection. A foam insert secures the contents of the kit.

The SpeedyTM moisture tester determines the moisture content of a broad range of materials. A small sample of the material to be tested is weighed on the balance and then placed in the hand held vessel. A measure of calcium carbide reagent is then added and the vessel sealed. The reagent reacts with the free moisture in the sample to produce acetylene gas, resulting in an increase in pressure within the vessel.

Ordering InformationMoisture Tester Reagent is required for operation; not included, order separately.

AccessoriesEI23-7600. SpeedyTM Calibration Kit. Includes master gauge, valves, integral air pump, tools, instruction manual and case.

The Rapid moisture tester provides fast and reliable moisture determination in construction materials and other compounds.

No need for time consuming laboratory tests thanks to the precise measuring system. The indicated reading on the pressure gauge corresponds to the actual residual moisture in CM% – no conversions necessary.

Calcium carbide reagent for the Rapid tester is supplied sealed in glass ampoules weighing 8 grams. For testing samples weighing 20 gram, three ampoules are required.

Similar to the SpeedyTM tester a sample of material is added together with the steel balls and the required number of ampoules added and the vessel sealed. Shaking the vessel breaks down the glass releasing the Calcium Carbide which then reacts with the free moisture in the sample to produce acetylene gas, resulting in an increase in pressure within the vessel. The % moisture content of the sample is then read directly from the calibrated pressure gauge.

Check calibration of the Rapid tester is straightforward using a sealed glass ampoule containing a standard amount of water (three supplied with each unit) which is added to the vessel, broken down by the steel balls and the resulting moisture is read on the gauge.

ASR DetectTM

Alkali Silica Reaction (ASR) Kit

Complete test can be performed on-site. Minimal technician training and no special equipment

required. Uses only two, environmentally safe dyes. Identifies ASR in concrete and differentiates ASR from

other causes of degradation.

One of the primary causes of premature concrete deterioration is alkali-silica reaction (ASR). ASR causes concrete to deteriorate when sodium and/or potassium from cement attacks silica rich components of aggregate, producing gels that expand and eventually crack the structure.

In use, two reagents are applied to the broken surface of a concrete core and the excess rinsed off. On contaminated concrete, the resulting stains reveal the presence of ASR. The stains also reveal the extent of the ASR in the concrete and indicate the stage of ASR progress. A yellow color indicates that degradation has begun and a pink color warns that degradation is advancing.

Ideally suited for either laboratory or field use. Inexpensive, yet efficient design for accurate

separation of materials. Accepts up to 7 full height, 8” (203 mm) diameter

sieves, plus pan and cover. Supplied complete with belt guard.

These Sieve Shakers utilize a horizontal and vertical motion along with a tapping action. Spring loaded tie rods allow vertical motion. The shaker imparts a tap to the sieves at each change in direction as the sieve holders move from side to side. In addition, during each tap an upward jolt takes place. Proper separation of all materials takes place with the tapping action, allowing the materials to move quickly through the sieve meshes. Sample testing time is greatly reduced. This combination of shaking actions assures an accurate sieving or grading test on large quantities of material. The shakers have a capacity of 7 U.S. Standard, 8” (203 mm) diameter sieves with pan and cover.

U.S. Standard Testing SievesASTM E-11.

Unique epoxy fillet design ensures smooth anduninterrupted flow of material through sievingmedium.

Constructed using the finest quality mesh. Certificate of conformity to ASTM standards supplied

with every sieve.

ELE Testing Sieves are built to last longer. Our unique epoxy fillet design assures a uniform tautness and leaves no gap between the mesh and frame to trap material. Manufactured in one piece with no seams, they are solder-sealed to eliminate crevices and to make the sieve opening precise. This not only makes them more comfortable to handle since there are no raw edges, but also provides a smooth uninterrupted flow of material through the aperture with minimal loss.

Every ELE Sieve is meticulously checked and undergoes rigorous inspection at each stage of manufacture to ensure that the product meets ASTM standards. The certificate of examination that accompanies every sieve is more than just a formal statement of accuracy and performance on which you can depend; it is an assurance of outstanding quality, reliability, and strict adherence to testing standards.

Gradation - Sample Splitters

Large Capacity Sample Splitter

Adjustable chute widths. Lever-actuated, clamshell type hopper. Chute attachment for direct loading of one half of

final sample into container or bag.

The Large Capacity Sample Splitter is designed for samples too large in volume for convenient handling. This heavy-gage welded steel splitter divides samples so that half is representative of the original sample. It handles any material from sand sizes up to 4” (102 mm). The lever-actuated hopper holds up to 1 cu. ft. (0.028 m3) of material.

The universal chute section design consists of a set of aluminum bars that pivot on a rod at their lower ends. The top ends of the bars are flipped to alternate sides to form the desired chute width. Each chute bar is 1/2” (13 mm) wide so that adjustment is provided for any increment of 1/2” which will divide into the total 24” (610 mm) chute width an even number of times. Chute widths of 1/2”, 1”, 1-1/2”, 2”, 3”, 4”, or 6” may be selected by proper positioning of the bars.

Wet Washing Sieves are designed for wet testing of soils, cement, and other fine materials.

In the wet washing process, fines are washed through the sieve without loss of any portion of the sample. In most applications, the water is sprayed into the sieve for a set time and under a specified pressure. After the fines have been washed through, the residue which remains in the sieve is dried in the sieve prior to the weighing operation.
