“SYNCHRO CT” TRIAXIAL TESTING SYSTEM
SIMULTANEOUS REAL-TIME CT TRIAXIAL TEST SYSTEM
The unique frame design with an optional X-ray computed tomography system opens a new world of possibilities for dynamic and static test procedures in geotechnics. Sample’, porosity, crystallization and dissolution, exchange of pore fluids, pre- and post-failure geometry or even crack propagation can be now monitored in-situ during testing, also in time resolved manner.
X-ray transparent triaxial cell for low and high pressure tests.
Sample’s porosity, crystalliza-tion and dissolution, exchange of pore fluids, pre-and post-failure geometry, or even crack propagation can be now monitored in situ during testing, and also in a time-resolved manner.
Real time visualization of deformation of sample (consolidation, shear) and flow process (saturation, permeability) during test Two phase fluid flow (gas and liquid).
High potential for upgrades (visualization systems e.g. μ-CT, AE, ERT, custom made test jigs and environmental chambers etc.)

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
