Equipment

The new unique equipment is purchased using the REC costs. The National Mining University will be capable to increase the level of laboratory research and toexpand the spectrum of scientific experiments thanks to the CRDF Grant.

The research testing machine for durability forges of breeds and building materials

Model: KC-200/EUR
Producer: "Tecnotest" company, Italy, Modena.

It is intended for concrete samples durability definition on compression, forges of breeds in laboratory conditions.

The maximum compression capacity: 200 tons.

Appearing through electronic microscope

Model: PEM-U
Producer: «Selmi», Ukraine, Sumy.

Small-sized electronic microscope with X-raying for wide range of scientific applications. It is used for studying the microstructure of solids including rocks.
The main features of equipment:

• stability of the control system to external impacts;

• high resolution of crystal images;

• high quality of digital maps;

• high stability to vibration.

Laboratory equipment for triaxial testing of soils

Model: TriSCAN Advanced 10kN
Producer: VJTech, Wokingham, Berkshire, United Kingdom.

The equipment is intended for triaxial testing of soils by compression in labs.
It is the metallic frame with built-in devices for measuring pressure, transducers to provide the pressure on a load cell containing soil samples. The results of measurements are collected in the data logger. The complex includes also the automated pressure controllers, compressor, testing accessories. The logger enables measuring with simultaneous real-time data accumulation (up to 12000 readings).

Maximal loading for compressed samples is 10 kN.
