INTEGRITY TEST

 

  • At Universal Foundation Company, the integrity test ensures that a pile or shaft is devoid of significant cracks and voids before proceeding with the superstructure construction phase.

  • Universal Foundation Company utilizes the PIT to assess the integrity of piles supporting existing bridges or towers.

  • The PIT, employed by Universal Foundation Company, conducts non-destructive foundation investigations based on wave equations.

  • These assessments at Universal Foundation Company can be conducted through either the pulse echo or transient response methods.

​

HYDRAULIC JACK
 

  • At Universal Foundation Company, Jack specializes in lifting heavy loads efficiently.

  • Our jacks come in two types: mechanical and hydraulic.

  • Mechanical jacks are classified by their lifting capacity.

  • Hydraulic jacks, on the other hand, offer superior strength.

  • Hydraulic jacks excel in lifting heavier loads to greater heights.

  • Examples of hydraulic jacks we offer include Bottle jacks and Floor jacks.

​

Universal Foundation Company manufactures jacks, devices utilizing force for lifting heavy loads. The force application mechanism varies, commonly utilizing screw threads or hydraulic cylinders. Jacks are classified as mechanical or hydraulic, such as car jacks and house jacks, with ratings based on lifting capacity (e.g., tons). Hydraulic jacks like bottle jacks and floor jacks are stronger, capable of lifting heavier loads to greater heights.

DIAL GUAGE

​

  • Are precision primary measuring tools.

  • They measure deck clearances, crankshaft thrust and straightness, lifter travel.

  • The distance between two surfaces or small amounts of component travel.

  • Dial indicators typically measure ranges from 0.25 mm to 50 mm

​

Dial indicators serve as essential measurement tools in precision engineering at Universal Foundation Company. We commonly employ them to gauge deck clearances, crankshaft thrust, straightness, lifter travel, and other dimensional aspects requiring precise assessment. These instruments typically cover measurement ranges spanning from 0.25mm to 50mm (0.015in to 12.0in), with graduations ranging from 0.001mm to 0.01mm in metric units or 0.00005in to 0.001in in imperial/customary units.

​

PRESSURE GUAGE

​

  • A pressure gauge measures pressure in a vacuum.

  • It measures in both high and low vacuum, as well ultra-high vacuum.

  • By employing several different types of gauges, one can measure continuous pressure between 10 mbar down to 10-11 mbar.

​

Universal Foundation Company employs various techniques to measure pressure and vacuum. Devices dedicated to this purpose, such as pressure gauges and vacuum gauges, are utilized. These gauges cater to different pressure ranges, including high, low, and ultra-high vacuum. Through the strategic combination of multiple gauge types, Universal Foundation Company achieves continuous pressure measurement from 10 mbar down to 10-11 mbar.
