• A specially designed steel assembly is needed for pore solution extraction. Figure 28 shows a typical setup for pore solution extraction. The volume of the sample chamber determines the maximum possible quantity of pore solution that can be squeezed out from a single extraction. However, the section area of the piston (steel cylinder) also affects the maximum load needed to obtain the pore solution. For the dimensions of the cell shown in Figure 28, the maximum load needed to complete an extraction is usually below 600klb (272 tons).
• A universal test machine with sufficient loading capacity provides the compression loading.
• Lubricating agent
• Teflon pads: they should fit into the inner diameter of the sample chamber, identified as 3 (in Figure 28) and be about 5mm thick.
