Flexible Wall Permeability Cell, 1.4 to 6in dia. Specimens (Brass Valves)

Flexible Wall Permeability Test Cells for 1.4 –6in (35.6 –152.4mm) dia. specimens are compatible with Gilson HM-350M Master Control Panel or HM-350A Auxiliary Control Panel, and other similar systems. The units have heavy-wall clear acrylic chambers and are equipped with solid machined aluminum bases. Test Cells have precision zero-volume change ball valves and are constructed with rugged quality fittings. The maximum operating pressure is 150psi (10.3bar). Inside chamber dimensions are 7.5x10.125in (191x257mm), dia.xH.

HMA-516 Flexible Wall Permeability Cell is equipped with rugged quality brass fittings.

HMA-516S Flexible Wall Permeability Cell has stainless steel valves and fittings that offer corrosion resistance from harsh permeant fluids.

Permeability Test Cells can test a range of sample sizes. A size-specific Test Cell Kit is required for use with test cells and sold separately on the Test Cell Accessories page. Each kit contains the individual components needed for testing a specific sample size, and all components correlate to that size. The kit includes one anodized aluminum specimen cap and pedestal, two Porous Stones, two Latex Membranes, and four O-Rings. Several optional accessories, including the HMA-506 Specimen Height Indicator for Triaxial/Permeability Testing and HMA-521 Digital Pore Pressure Gauge w/Transducer, are available separately and shown below.
