PORE PRESSURE APPARATUS.

PORE PRESSURE APPARATUS.

This is as per the principals outlined in the book “Measurement of soil properties in triaxial tests” by A.W. Bishop and D. J. Henkel. This is used as an accessory for triaxial test apparatus.
 
This apparatus is used for measuring pore water pressure and pore air pressure in soils.
 
The apparatus consists of a Panel for wall mounting on which is having following fittings:
 
Ø    A bourdon type, 20 cm Dia, Pressure Gauge having range 10 kg / cm² or 20 Kg / cm² is
      fitted.
 
Ø    Glass U-tube manometer for measuring low positive pore pressures, negative pore
      pressures and checking zero error of pressure gauge. It is provided with a mercury trap
      (Mercury supplied at extra cost), Null indicator made out of clear transparent Perspex with
      mercury trap and cursor to indicate the mercury level.
 
Ø    50 ml Burette for measuring the volume change in the soil specimen. Pressure pump fitted
      with four sleeve packed valves. Operated by means of a hand wheel on the end of the
      piston rod which is threaded through the pump cap and gives a smooth, fine adjustment
      of pressure.
 
Ø    Copper coil and water reservoir.
