Automatic Volume Change Apparatus

The apparatus is used for measuring the volume change of a soil sample by monitoring the flow of water through the chamber of the unit. The lower assembly contains changeover valves, which when used in conjunction with the upper assembly provides limitless capacity. The unit can be used with a linear strain transducer, a digital indicator, or as part of an automated system. It is accurate to better than ±0.05 ml and is easily de-aired in seconds.
