Deaired water is used in both triaxial and permeability testing as a permeant and confining fluid in Control Panels and Test Cells. Water in 1.5gal (5.7L) or 5gal (18.9L) clear acrylic chambers is subjected to a vacuum to remove dissolved air and gases air entrapped in the water. Tanks are furnished with control valves, fittings and lines for filling, vacuuming, venting and outflow of water to the control panel and test chamber. Tanks should be mounted on a wall at a height greater than the test chamber and panel to allow gravity flow of the deaired water to the chamber with a minimum of turbulence. A vacuum source of 29in+Hg supplied by the user is required for operation.

The Karol-Warner 3872B Deairing Tank is a must-have for any laboratory conducting triaxial and permeability testing. This 1.5-gallon (5.7 liters) tank is designed to remove dissolved air and gases from water, ensuring accurate and reliable test results.
This deairing tank is made from clear acrylic chambers, allowing for easy monitoring of the deairing process. The water inside the tank is subjected to a vacuum, which effectively removes any trapped air or gases. With control valves, fittings, and lines included, this tank provides a complete solution for filling, vacuuming, venting, and outflow of water to the control panel and test chamber.
For optimal performance, it is recommended to mount the tank on a wall at a height greater than the test chamber and panel. This allows for the gravity flow of deaired water to the chamber with minimal turbulence, ensuring accurate and consistent results.
The Karol-Warner 3872B Deairing Tank is available in two sizes - 1.5 gallons (5.7 liters) or 5 gallons (18.9 liters) - allowing you the flexibility to choose the size that best suits your testing needs.
This deairing tank meets various industry-specific test methods, including AASHTO T297, AASHTO T296, ASTM D 4767, ASTM D 2850, and ASTM D 5084. By using this tank, you can be confident that your testing processes comply with industry standards.
Please note that a vacuum source of 29 inches of mercury (inHg) is required for the operation of this tank. This vacuum source needs to be supplied by the user.
Ensure reliable and accurate results in your triaxial and permeability testing with the Karol-Warner 3872B Deairing Tank. With its efficient design, control valves, and industry compliance, this tank is a valuable addition to any laboratory.
