Sun LabTek Equipments (I) Pvt. Ltd. products

The Triaxial UU-CU-CD Test Systems from Sun LabTek are specifically designed for evaluating the mechanical properties of soil, crucial for civil engineering applications such as foundation design, tunneling, and embankment construction. These systems enable comprehensive automated testing, including unconsolidated undrained (UU), consolidated drained (CD), and consolidated undrained (CU) compression tests on both undisturbed and remolded soil samples. The Triaxial Test Systems comply with several international standards such as ASTM D2850, D4767, and BS 1377-7, and are manufactured in India. Through meticulous application of stress and precise control of drainage conditions, the systems allow determination of effective strength parameters while efficiently measuring variables such as axial strain and degree of saturation using advanced data acquisition technology. The systems are computer-controlled, supporting data handling via Triaxial software compatible with Windows, thus ensuring reliable and repeatable results for critical civil engineering analyses.

The LabTek Consolidation Test Apparatus is engineered to optimize the efficiency of triaxial tests by allowing the simultaneous consolidation of three specimens at different conditions, specifically CU and CD tests in anisotropic environments. It comprises a robust steel bench outfitted with three load frames and centering platens, enabling compatibility with triaxial cells for specimens ranging from 35 to 100 mm in diameter. Additional adaptability is supported through its ability to accommodate triaxial cells from other manufacturers that include a centering hole of specified dimensions. This apparatus allows for weight adjustments with beam loading devices to minimize the need for dead weights, contributing to a streamlined testing process. The design reduces the weights of the loading frames to obviate the need for a counterbalance. Ideal for civil engineering applications, it can be coupled with axial displacement gauges, beam loading devices, and slotted weights for comprehensive testing capabilities.

The Direct Shear Test Apparatus by LabTek, model SUN-SL-002, is designed for precise soil testing in laboratory settings. This apparatus is manufactured in India and meets various international standards, including ASTM D3080 and BS 1377-7, ensuring its compliance with recognized testing protocols. The apparatus features a robust loading unit with a load yoke capable of applying normal stresses up to 8 kg/sq. cm. It includes a shear box assembly with components like plain and perforated gripper plates and porous stones. The apparatus is capable of performing tests on 60 x 60 x 25 mm square specimens. It comes with a set of weights that provide different loading capacities, and it operates on a 230 Volts Single Phase A.C. Electrical supply. Optional accessories include additional weights, a soil sampler for specific specimen sizes, and spare porous stones for testing continuity. The device is suitable for laboratories requiring precise soil shear strength assessments.

Soil Cone Penetrometer of Soil is based on the relationship between moisture content and the penetration of the cone into the soil sample. The moisture content at a given depth of penetration of the cone is taken as the liquid limit. The Automatic Penetrometer (Digital Timer) is supplied complete with a stainless steel penetration test cone 35mm long with a smooth polished surface and an angle of 30° and a Penetration test cup 55mm DIA x 40mm deep. Facility exists for adjusting cone height in relation to the specimen.

The Sand Pouring Cylinder from Sun LabTek is a specialized tool designed to determine the dry density of compact, fine, and medium-grained soil layers up to 50 cm thick. This procedure involves creating a circular hole in the ground where the excavated soil is collected, dried, and weighed. Subsequently, the volume of the hole is calculated by filling it with a standard, uniformly graded sand using the Sand Pouring Cylinder. This essential apparatus comprises a Sand Pouring Cylinder equipped with a conical funnel and shutter, a cylindrical calibration container, and a metal tray featuring a central hole. Such equipment is indispensable in civil engineering laboratories to ensure precise soil density measurements that adhere to IS 2720 (P-XXVIII) standards, aiding efficient soil compaction and stability analyses.
