D ATA A C Q U I S I T I O N
With the growing demand for automated testing ELE offer DataSystem 7, a completely new suite of geotechnical data acquisition, analysis, and reportingsoftware
replacing the very successful and widely used DS6 range of programs.
DataSystem 7 is designed to record, analyze and report test data per ASTM,
AASHTO, and British Standards for Quick-Undrained Triaxial, CU/CD Triaxial,
Consolidation, Direct/Residual Shear and CBR tests.
The software runs on a personal computer connected to the ELE ADU data logger with transducers and has been designed and written for use by engineers and
technicians.
Each package is user-friendly and guides the user through the test procedure in
accordance with the selected Standard (ASTM/AASHTO or BS). Standard screen
layouts present sample details, test stage, menu options and data entry.
The engineer has total control over those areas of analysis where an engineering
judgement is required.The test techniques and methods follow generally accepted
geotechnical engineering practice.
All test data and reports are automatically filed in a logical folder structure based
on Job Number,Test Type & Sample Number. Files for each test are given a unique
name, based on sample i.d., date and time. This system allows easy identification of
historical test data and ensures that test data will never be accidentally over-written.
To take full advantage of the extensive reporting facility the package provides,
Microsoft Word (Version 97 or later) should be resident on the system.This facility
will allow reports to be generated automatically.
The packages of software required are accessed by an activation code, supplied by
ELE, allowing the customer to build up a suite of software on an as required basis.
Each program is complete in its own right and can be integrated into the system
at any time.
Please refer to the following page for a detailed listing of the packages available.

Triaxial Cell
ELE Triaxial Cells are designed to meet the requirements of the modern soils
laboratory.Three quick release tie rods are used to attach the cylinder and head
assembly to the base.The high quality finish between the piston and the head, the
use of an O-ring seal, and special lubricant reduce friction levels and eliminate
water leakage.
Each cell has five base ports; two for top drainage/backpressure, two for bottom
drainage/pore pressure, and one for confining pressure.Two no-volume change
valves and an anvil for strain indicator/transducers are supplied as standard.

Tri-Flex 2 Master Control Panel
Three independent channels of pressure control.
Digital pressure display system to an accuracy of 0.25%
of reading within range.
User-friendly burette system.
Easy removal of burette/annulus assembly for cleaning.
Bridging feature to set multiple burette pressures with
one regulator.
Quick disconnects for easy system setup.
Easily expands for multi-cell test.
Straightforward in design, the Tri-Flex 2 Master Control Panel meets the demands
for an accurate, yet simple-to-operate panel system for use in triaxial and
permeability testing.The panel is easy to operate, with a limited number of
controls and an easy-to-read digital pressure display system. Fast, easy connection
and removal of additional system components allow quick system setup.
The operator has complete control of system pressure and flow measurements
during specimen testing, with three independently-controlled pressure regulators
one for confining or cell pressure; one for lower or pore/head pressure; and
one for upper or back/tail pressure.The bridging feature lets the operator quickly
set the pressures of multiple burette systems with just one regulator.
Each burette/annulus assembly has a selector which opens or closes the access to
the annulus.When opened, up to 400 ml of water is available to the operator for
specimen saturation and other test stages without refilling the burette assembly.
By a simple flip of a switch to activate the digital pressure display system, any of
the regulated pressures can be displayed in digital form to an accuracy of 0.25%
of reading within range.
The Tri-Flex 2 Master Control Panel is designed in full compliance with ASTM and
AASHTO specifications for use in the application, monitoring and data recording
of test conditions.

The apparatus is designed to control all of the variables that influence the
expansive characteristics of a particular soil while still performing a practical test
for general engineering use.
The device was originally developed by the Federal Housing Administration after
considerable research to provide satisfactory background laboratory testing data,
a summarization of mechanisms causing volume change in soils and the factors
influencing these changes. PVC refers to the maximum possible volume change
that a soil could undergo when subjected to changing moisture conditions.
The unit consists of a cast aluminum base and collar, stainless steel specimen ring,
porous stones, dial indicator, and a 12.6 lb. (5.7 kg) loading weight.
The unit is supplied complete with a 1,000 lb. (4.5 kN) capacity proving ring and

The time and effort required to prepare specimens for compaction studies and
other test methods can often be costly and time consuming.The ELE Compactor
automatically compacts soil specimens, thereby eliminating the laborious hand
compaction method.The height and weight of the hammer is adjustable to suit
test requirements.
An automatic blow pattern ensures optimum compaction for each layer of soil.
The hammer itself travels across the mold and the table rotates the mold in equal
steps on a base that is extremely stable.The number of blows per layer can be set
at the beginning of the test by means of the simple digital counter system.

Moisture Testers
The Speedy 2000 moisture testing kit which combines the most popular and
versatile Speedy model with an electronic balance and a heavy-duty plastic case.
The waterproof and durable case offers the highest level of protection. A foam
insert secures the contents of the kit: the large Speedy body, electronic balance,
beaker, cleaning cloth, cap, washer, scoop, steel pulverizing balls, and cleaning
brushes.The electronic balance has an easy-to-read LCD display.With a range
from 0 - 7oz (0 - 200g), the balance is simple to use, accurate, and repeatable.
The Speedy moisture tester determines the moisture content of a broad range
of materials. A small sample of the material to be tested is weighed on the balance
and then placed in the hand held vessel. A measure of calcium carbide reagent is
then added and the vessel sealed.The reagent reacts with the free moisture in the
sample to produce acetylene gas, resulting in an increase in pressure within the
vessel.The % moisture content of the sample is then read directly from the calibrated pressure gauge.

The Sand Equivalent Test Set is designed to determine the relative proportion of
detrimental fine dust or clay-like material in soils or fine aggregates.Widely used
by highway and road laboratories, the test can easily be conducted in both the
laboratory and in the field.
Basically, the test is performed by separating the sand and clays in a stock solution.
Then a comparative reading of the level of the clay suspension and the settled
sand in a plastic measuring cylinder is taken.

Mud Augers
Dutch Augers
The Mud Auger features an open cylinder design facilitating easy removal of heavy,
wet soil or clay samples. Bits are similar to the Regular Auger bits but are spaced
farther apart.
The Dutch Auger is hand-forged from high-carbon spring steel and honed to a
fine cutting edge. Its design makes it an excellent tool in heavily rooted, fibrous
or swampy areas.
