Flexible Wall Permeability Cell, 1.4 to 4in Specimens (Stainless Valves)

Flexible Wall Permeability Cell, 1.4 to 4in Specimens (Stainless Valves)

The Flexible Wall Permeability Cell is designed for optimum performance when paired with the Master Control Panel, Auxiliary Control Panel, or other compatible systems. It accommodates specimen sizes ranging from 1.4in (35.6mm) to 4.0in (101.6mm) in diameter. Constructed with durable, heavy-wall clear acrylic chambers and solid machined aluminum bases, these cells are built to last. Precision zero-volume change ball valves and high-quality fittings ensure reliability during testing. The maximum operating pressure is 150psi (10.3bar), with internal chamber dimensions of 4.75 x 8.25in (121 x 210mm) in diameter and height.

Key Features:

• Durable clear acrylic test chambers
• Zero-volume change ball valves for precision
• Supports 4in (102mm) samples with an optional adapter set
• Available with brass or corrosion-resistant stainless steel fittings

Specifications:

• Specimen Size: 1.4in (35.6mm) to 4.0in (101.6mm)
• Pressure Rating: 100 to 200psi (6.9 to 13.8bar)
• Chamber Dimensions: 4.75 x 8.25in (121 x 210mm), dia. x H
• Product Dimensions: 6.5 x 8.25 x 12.5in (165 x 210 x 317.5mm), W x D x H

Additional Information: The test cell includes stainless steel valves and fittings to resist corrosion from harsh permeant fluids. A Test Cell Kit, sold separately, is required for operation. Kits are tailored to specific specimen sizes and include an anodized aluminum specimen cap and pedestal, two porous stones, two latex membranes, and four O-rings. Optional accessories, such as the Specimen Height Indicator for Triaxial/Permeability Testing and the Digital Pore Pressure Gauge with Transducer, are also available.

Standards: Meets ASTM D5084 specifications.
