AUTOMATIC:

A PLC controls the process and monitors each test

station. After the bottles are toaded the cycle starts

by pressurizing each sample to a pre programmed

Set Point pressure. After a programmed time to allow

for bottle size creep the NaOH solution is released

from the reservoir to the required level around the

base of each sample. Pressure in each sample is

monitored and the time of failure for each station is

recorded by the controller and also exported to a PC.

SEMJ AUTOMATIC:

After the samples are loaded the user opens a

valve to pressurize each sample, (pressure pre set on

local regulator). Timing & release of the NaOH

solution is by a separate manually operated valve.

Monitoring of failure is observed and recorded

manually by the user.
