About Permeability Cell

In oilfield laboratory instrumentations, there are a wide variety instruments for drilling and stimulation fluid preparation and the oil well cement testing, designed to measure the thickning time of cement slurries with wide pressure and temperature operating ranges.

The measure of rocks, cement, soil permeability or porosity is a key issue in the construction industry.TOP INDUSTRIE has developed a full range of high pressure cells for this application.

Features

Rock Top 10 can be used for low pressure, up to 240 bar (3500 psi)
Rock Top 20 and Rock Top 30 Series can be used for high pressure, up to 600 bar (9000 psi)
Can be used at room temperature or up to 150oC.
Manual screw closing or bolted sealing depending on the pressure range.
European confirmity according to the European Pressure Directive 97/23.
Cells are easy to use and easy to clean.

Engineered for accuracy, the Permeability Cell delivers dependable soil permeability readings thanks to its 1% measuring accuracy and quick response time. The advanced construction with corrosion-resistant materials, leak-proof architecture, and reliable sealing components ensures long-term performance, even in challenging laboratory settings.

Flexible Specimen Handling and Test Range

Accommodating up to three 50 mm diameter specimens simultaneously, this cell is suitable for high-throughput laboratories. The system supports a broad test range from 0.01 to 100 cm/hr and up to 1000 mL/min, making it versatile for various soil types and research requirements.

User-Friendly and Compliant Design

Designed for both manual and automatic operations, the cell features an easy-to-read analog/digital display. Compliance with IS:2720 (Part XVII) & ASTM D2434 standards ensures confidence in data integrity, while semi-automatic controls enhance process efficiency within a compact, bench-top configuration.

FAQs of Permeability Cell:

Q: How is the Permeability Cell used in laboratory soil testing?

A: The Permeability Cell is employed to measure soil permeability by allowing water to pass through soil specimens under controlled conditions. You place up to three soil samples (50 mm diameter) within the cell, seal them with the provided retaining rings, set the desired test conditions, and monitor the fluid flow using the analog or digital display.

Q: What benefits does the corrosion-resistant design provide?

A: The use of borosilicate glass or transparent acrylic, coupled with stainless steel valves and chemical-resistant O-rings, ensures that the Permeability Cell resists rust and chemical degradation, prolonging its operational life and ensuring more reliable results even with frequent use.

Q: When should I choose manual or automatic control mode?

A: Manual control mode is ideal when precise adjustments or experimental variations are required, while automatic mode offers convenience and consistency during routine soil permeability tests, reducing the risk of operator error.

Q: Where can the Permeability Cell be mounted and operated?

A: This device is designed for bench-top mounting, making it suitable for use in laboratory environments such as research institutions, soil mechanics labs, and educational settings across India and globally.

Q: What is the process for preparing and running a test with this equipment?

A: Preparation involves installing the soil specimen(s) using the provided retaining rings, connecting the test fluid (water), adjusting test parameters (speed, pressure), and starting the test. The flow rate is monitored, and data is recorded either analogically or digitally for permeability calculation.

Q: How does compliance with IS:2720 and ASTM D2434 benefit the user?

A: Compliance ensures the testing protocols and results adhere to nationally and internationally recognized standards, providing confidence in data validity for research, construction, and quality assurance purposes.
