Complete POT system composition:

• Manual lever pump, 0.5 L reservoir
• Flanged pressure gauge adapter with 3/8″ NPT F quick screw coupling
• High-precision digital pressure gauge NVT700 with calibration report traceable to LAT
• “R8″ flexible hose L=2 m with 3/8” NPT M screw couplings and protective caps
• Single-acting hydraulic cylinder, spring return, 10-ton capacity, 50 mm stroke
• Analog dial gauge, 100 mm stroke (*)
• Magnetic base holder
• No. 2 steel plates, 28×28 cm
• No. 2 custom steel sleeves for lateral pull-out tests
• No. 2 omega shackles with tubular continuous ring
• 65 kN instrumented shackle
• Monochannel handheld data acquisition unit
• 3-ton lever hoist (**)
• Reference tripod for dial gauge or displacement sensor

(*) As an alternative to the analog gauge, the data acquisition process can be automated with the NOVAlog unit, a 100 mm potentiometric displacement transducer, and a pressure transducer.
(**) As an alternative to the lever hoist, a 5-ton pulling hydraulic cylinder with 140 mm stroke, lifting eye bolts, and chains can be used.
