LoadTrac II
FlowTrac II

The  Load Trac-II/FlowTrac-II system fully  auto mates the performance of a Controlled Strain Loading Consolidation (CSL) test. Once a soil sample is in place, and the test conditions selected, the LoadTrac-II/ FlowTrac-II system will run the entire CRCS test from start to finish. The LoadTrac II/ FlowTrac-II system consolidates the sample through a loading path specified by the user using constant rate of strain loading. To avoid running the test too fast (excess pore pressures become too large for  the transducer) or too slow (the test takes too long), LoadTrac II/FlowTrac-II uses Excess Pore Pressure Ratio Limits. If the measured excess pore pressure divided by the current total vertical stress exceeds the Upper Pore Pressure Ratio Limit,  the current strain rate is automatically decreased by a factor of 2. If the measured excess pore pressure divided by the current total vertical stress falls below the Lower Pore Pressure Ratio Limit, the current strain rate is increased by a factor of 2. These limits give the user a great deal of control over how a constant strain rate test is run.

The FlowTrac II is used during back pressure saturation as well as maintaining a constant cell pressure during the consolidation phase of the test. A typical consolidation test can be completed in 24 to 36 hrs. on most materials.
