Deaired water is used in both triaxial and permeability testing as a permeant and confining fluid in Control Panels and Test Cells. Water in 1.5gal (5.7L) or 5gal (18.9L) clear acrylic chambers is subjected to a vacuum to remove dissolved air and gases air entrapped in the water. Tanks are furnished with control valves, fittings and lines for filling, vacuuming, venting and outflow of water to the control panel and test chamber. Tanks should be mounted on a wall at a height greater than the test chamber and panel to allow gravity flow of the deaired water to the chamber with a minimum of turbulence. A vacuum source of 29in+Hg supplied by the user is required for operation.

The Gilson HMA-505 Deairing Tank is an essential tool for professionals conducting triaxial and permeability testing. Designed for efficiency and accuracy, this 5-gallon (18.9L) tank is equipped with valves, fittings, and lines to ensure seamless operation.
Deaired water is a crucial component in both triaxial and permeability testing. Acting as both a permeant and confining fluid, it allows for accurate testing results. The Gilson HMA-505 Deairing Tank creates deaired water by subjecting water in a clear acrylic chamber to a vacuum. This vacuum effectively removes dissolved air and gases present in the water, ensuring optimal testing conditions.
With control valves, fittings, and lines for filling, vacuuming, venting, and outflow of water to the control panel and test chamber, this deairing tank provides comprehensive functionality. The tank is designed to be mounted on a wall, ensuring that the deaired water flows smoothly and with minimal turbulence to the test chamber. This efficient design enhances the testing accuracy and reliability.
The Gilson HMA-505 Deairing Tank is available with a choice of 1.5-gallon (5.7L) or 5-gallon (18.9L) tanks to suit a variety of testing needs. This flexibility allows professionals to select the tank size that best caters to their specific requirements.
Furthermore, this deairing tank meets various test methods, including AASHTO T297, AASHTO T296, ASTM D 4767, ASTM D 2850, and ASTM D 5084. This ensures that the Gilson HMA-505 Deairing Tank adheres to industry standards, giving professionals confidence in its performance and reliability.
Note that a vacuum source of 29in+Hg must be supplied by the user for the operation of this deairing tank. This user-supplied vacuum source is crucial for the efficient functioning of the tank and ensures accurate results.
Overall, the Gilson HMA-505 Deairing Tank is a high-quality tool that allows professionals to create deaired water for triaxial and permeability testing. With its efficient design, comprehensive functionality, and adherence to industry standards, this deairing tank is an indispensable asset for professionals in the field.
