Humboldt HM-4160 FlexPanels - Manual (Page 4)

Functional Overview
Purpose of Equipment
The panels are used to control pressure and monitor flow of liquids in and out
of various testing apparatus. The device can be used with other equipment to
perform these ASTM procedures: D4767, D2850, D5084 and other international
standards.
How equipment can be used:
• To back-pressure saturate a specimen.
• Monitor consolidation or swell (volume change)
• Control pressure and monitor volume change during a shear test.
• Monitor flow in and out of a sample and control pressure for
permeability testing.
Description
Humboldt FlexPanels are available in 5 separate panel configurations, which can
be grouped together to accommodate from 1 to 5 cell setups. The five different
types of Panels include:
HM-4140.3F— A Master Controller. The Master Control panel can be used
to control the functions of up to 5 cells utilizing combinations
of HM-4150A and HM-4160A FlexPanels. Each cell requires a
group of dedicated control burettes. HM-4150A panels provide
1 group of controls and the HM-4160A panels provide 2 groups
of controls.
HM-4150.3F— 1 group of control burettes and an integral master controller
HM-4160.3F— 2 groups of control burettes and an integral master controller
HM-4140M.3F— Same as HM-4140.3F, except it reads in kPa
HM-4150M.3F— Same as HM-4150.3F, except it reads in kPa
HM-4160M.3F— Same as HM-4160.3F, except it reads in kPa
HM-4150A— Add-on panel with 1 group of control burettes
HM-4160A— Add-on panel with 2 groups of control burettes
