Fluids
The individual Pore Pressure Intensifier is built to be compatible with one or more
fluids. Fluids such as pure water and non-corrosive water solutions, corrosive saline
and acid solutions and refined mineral oils, such as PG
®
and Multitherm
®
, are used.
The 286.30-02 is the same as the 286.30-01 except it accepts a brine solution.
Use of fluids not compatible with the PPI can damage internal components.
Refer questions regarding appropriate fluid for a specific PPI to your local MTS
Service Engineer or to MTS Systems Corporation.
Maximum Fluid
Temperature
75°C/165°F for all models
Note Many triaxial cells are capable of heating pore fluid to temperatures that
exceed this value. Therefore, it is imperative that fluid from the triaxial cell
not be allowed to circulate back into the PPI while fluid temperature is above
75°C/165°F.
