Rock HP-HT Gas Medium Triaxial System
NEW “PATERSON APPARATUS”
In the 1960s-80s, Prof. Mervyn Paterson at the Australia National University (ANU) developed a unique gas-media deformation apparatus.
In 2018 APS-Wille Geotechnik® presented a new modified and upgraded generation of this sophisticated high pressure high temperature internally heated pressure vessel system aiming to perform complex rock triaxial experiments at elevated P-T conditions. This triaxial system for simulation of axial stresses down to approximately 13 km, is using gas as pressurizing medium. It has features for measuring pore size distribution and analysis or the determination of e.g. fluid/ gas permeability in rocks.

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
