With the growing demand for automated testing ELE offer DataSystem 7, a com-pletely new suite of geotechnical data acquisition, analysis, and reportingsoftwarereplacing the very successful and widely used DS6 range of programs.

DataSystem 7 is designed to record, analyze and report test data per ASTM,AASHTO, and British Standards for Quick-Undrained Triaxial, CU/CD Triaxial,Consolidation, Direct/Residual Shear and CBR tests.

The software runs on a personal computer connected to the ELE ADU data log-ger with transducers and has been designed and written for use by engineers andtechnicians.

Each package is user-friendly and guides the user through the test procedure inaccordance with the selected Standard (ASTM/AASHTO or BS). Standard screenlayouts present sample details, test stage, menu options and data entry.

The engineer has total control over those areas of analysis where an engineeringjudgement is required.The test techniques and methods follow generally acceptedgeotechnical engineering practice.

All test data and reports are automatically filed in a logical folder structure basedon Job Number,Test Type & Sample Number. Files for each test are given a uniquename, based on sample i.d., date and time. This system allows easy identification ofhistorical test data and ensures that test data will never be accidentally over-writ-ten.

To take full advantage of the extensive reporting facility the package provides,Microsoft Word (Version 97 or later) should be resident on the system.This facilitywill allow reports to be generated automatically.

The packages of software required are accessed by an activation code, supplied byELE, allowing the customer to build up a suite of software on an ‘as required basis.Each program is complete in its own right and can be integrated into the systemat any time.

Please refer to the following page for a detailed listing of the packages available.

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 for cleaning.■ Bridging feature to set multiple burette pressures with

one 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 demandsfor 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 connectionand removal of additional system components allow quick system setup.

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

Each burette/annulus assembly has a selector which opens or closes the access tothe annulus.When opened, up to 400 ml of water is available to the operator forspecimen 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 ofthe regulated pressures can be displayed in digital form to an accuracy of ± 0.25%of reading within range.

Tri-Flex 2 Auxiliary Control Panel

■ Increases testing capacity of the system without duplicating the major control functions and pressure displays of the Master Control Panel.

■ Provides six independent control pressure regulators for complete flexibility while testing multiple samples.

■ Simple flip switch displays pressure setting for each regulator on the Master Control Panel digital “Pressure Meter” display.

■ Bridging feature allows user to set pressure on two to six burette channels using one regulator.

For greater productivity in the laboratory,Tri-Flex 2 Auxiliary Control Panels aredesigned to increase the Tri-Flex 2 System’s testing capacity without duplicating themajor control functions and pressure displays of the Master Control Panel.Thepanels work with the Master Control Panel to provide the overall system with thecapacity to test from three to five specimens at one time — each with its ownindependent pressure settings.

Easy to install and operate, the Auxiliary Control Panel is quickly hooked up to theMaster Control Panel by using the quick connections on the panel back. Quick disconnects on the front panel board assure fast connection or removal of the test cell.

■ Lightweight and portable for easy transportation.■ Test time of two hours or less.■ Requires only 2.5 liters of water.

The Guelph Permeameter is a constant head permeameter that measures in-situ hydraulic conductivity. It is a simple to operate, portable unit that requiresvery little training to use. Only one person is needed to perform the test.

The method involves measuring the steady-state rate of water recharge intounsaturated soil from a cylindrical well hole, in which a constant head of water ismaintained. Calculations are made to determine the hydraulic conductivity, soilsorptivity and soil matrix flux potential. Depending on the soil type, tests can takebetween 1/2 hour and 2 hours using only 2.5 liters of water.

Unconfined Compression Tester,Hand OperatedASTM D-2166;AASHTO T-208.

■ Lightweight design for laboratory and field use.■ Supplied complete and ready to operate.

The unconfined compression test is an important method of determining shearstrength of cohesive and semi-cohesive soils.The test is widely used to supplyinformation needed for the design and construction of civil engineering structuresof many kinds, such as buildings, bridges, dams, and embankments.

Test loads are applied to the specimen through a gearing arrangement located inthe totally enclosed base.The gear train is actuated by a two-piece aluminum handcrank.The rate of strain can be regulated during the test by turning the hand crankat the desired rate. Loads are indicated on a proving ring and dial indicator assem-bly. Readings on the dial are converted to the load applied to the specimen byusing the calibration charts supplied with each unit.

■ Pre-set blow pattern ensures even compaction.■ Solid state controls for reliability and ease of maintenance.■ Automatic counter reset after completion of blow pattern.

The time and effort required to prepare specimens for compaction studies andother test methods can often be costly and time consuming.The ELE Compactorautomatically compacts soil specimens, thereby eliminating the laborious handcompaction method.The height and weight of the hammer is adjustable to suittest requirements.

An automatic blow pattern ensures optimum compaction for each layer of soil.The hammer itself travels across the mold and the table rotates the mold in equalsteps on a base that is extremely stable.The number of blows per layer can be setat the beginning of the test by means of the simple digital counter system.

SpecificationsHammer. Circular faced, 2.0" (50.8 mm) diam. foot; adjustable to either

5.5 lb.(2.5 kg) or 10 lb. (4.5 kg) weight.Drop. Adjustable to either 12" (305 mm) or 18" (457 mm).Controls. Digital counter system, selector switch for either standard
