The Role of Geotechnical Testing in Site Success

When it comes to construction and infrastructure projects, success begins with the ground beneath your feet. That’s why geotechnical testing is essential in understanding the physical properties of soil and rock at a proposed site. At JZ Construction Materials Testing, we provide precise and reliable testing services that support safe and sustainable developments across Tasmania.

Why Geotechnical Testing Matters

Before any foundation is laid, it’s crucial to analyse the site conditions. Our geotechnical testing services assess the soil’s load-bearing capacity, stability, moisture content, and other parameters that affect design and construction. Whether it’s a residential build or a major infrastructure project, early identification of ground issues saves both time and money.

The Importance of Density Testing

Density testing ensures that soil compaction meets engineering specifications. Poorly compacted soil can lead to uneven settling and structural damage over time. Our technicians use calibrated nuclear density gauges and sand replacement methods to verify compaction on-site. These tests are essential for quality assurance in road construction, building pads, and trench backfills.

Compaction Testing for Longevity

Soil compaction testing involves measuring the moisture content and density of soil layers to ensure they are compacted to the required levels. At JZ Construction Materials Testing, we understand that compaction is critical for minimising water infiltration, reducing settlement, and increasing the lifespan of constructed facilities.

Mercedes-Benz 190E Stadtwagen, 1980. During the development of the W201 series Mercedes experimented with a short wheelbase (222cm) version for use in the WRC to compete in rally championships alongside the 190E saloon. It was felt that the compact hatchback would be more successful on tougher courses that demanded greater agility than the saloon was capable of. However Mercedes withdrew from the WRC in late 1980 and the project went no further.

I really love the design of Nina's room here. It looks very realistic for one a high schooler would have. But of course Nina needs some special accommodations and they make sense. Her room is cute and believable. I adore the stickers on her bed. What a fun little detail. There's a bunch of posters showing that she has a wide variety of interests, and even an amp.

The pom-pom topped pencil is just *chef's kiss*

Nina's just a regular girl who happens to have aquatic traits and I love that.

Enhancing Salt Spray Chamber Performance with PLC Automation – Powered by NX-ERA Xpress

In the industrial domain, corrosion is not just a problem, it's a stealthy destroyer. From car parts to ocean gear to electronics, the shadow of rust looms over all. That's where the salt spray chamber comes in useful, enabling us to simulate the most extreme conditions. However, the catch is that manual systems don’t cut it anymore.

Enter the NX-ERA Xpress PLC—a smart, compact PLC for industrial automation that’s changing the game for good.

We at Messung have a strong expertise in programmable logic controllers, and today we're demonstrating to you why a salt spray chamber needs a rugged modular PLC for demanding environments that's fluent in Industry 4.0.

What is a Salt Spray Chamber?

A salt spray chamber is a specialized testing environment that helps industries evaluate the durability of coatings, components, and materials under harsh environments. These rooms are intended to:

●       Simulate corrosive environments

●       Test the metals, coatings, and components

●       Provide accelerated ageing tests in controlled environments

Industries that swear by it:

●       Automotive Companies

●       Paint and Coating Producers

●       Marine Equipment Manufacturers

Electronics OEMS

Why Automate Salt Spray Chambers with a PLC?

Consider switching temperatures, humidity levels, and spray intervals by hand every hour. Time-consuming, prone to error, and a time-waster. A PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) coordinates the whole process—managing logic, control, timing, and communication like a maestro directing a symphony.

Meet the NX-ERA Xpress PLC – your multi-protocol, multi-project, one seamless controller. It never sleeps, never messes up, and always provides you with accurate data. From Messung Industrial Automation, a cost-effective PLC that is MQTT and OPC UA enabled, UL certified, and ready for the most demanding automation tasks.

Key Roles of a PLC in Salt Spray Chambers

Behind each reliable corrosion test is a smart PLC working diligently to maintain consistency, compliance, and control. What it provides to the chamber is:

Precise Temperature Regulation - Dry bulb, wet bulb, ambient—all held constant with surgical accuracy by PID loops. No ups and downs, just stable, calibrated climates.

Humidity Control - Because one droplet too much or too little throws the test off balance. A smart PLC fine-tunes every moisture movement to mimic real-world conditions.

Spray System Management - Controls mist cycles, nozzle diameters, sizes, and flows to ASTM/BIS/ISO specifications. No guessing—only predictable, programmable spray patterns.

Test Cycle Automation - Start, stop, repeat—all done without ever lifting a finger. Install it once, and the PLC takes care of complex test schedules with ease and accuracy.

Alerts & Notifications - Monitors for anomalies, alerts you in real-time, and records deviations for later reference. The watchdog your lab never knew it had.

In short, a robust PLC is not just a controller—it's the brain behind every flawless salt spray test. Accuracy-driven, standards-enabled, and always on the job.

How NX-ERA Xpress PLC Transforms Salt Spray Testing

Accuracy with PID Control - Control temperature and humidity like an expert, with advanced PID algorithms that make continuous adjustments in both dry and wet bulb parameters. This ensures every salt spray cycle is to your exact specification—no overshoots, no drift—so you achieve flawless repeatability in every test.

Versatile I/O for Complete Control - From compressors and solenoid valves to heating coils and compressors, the modular I/O design lets you mix analogue and digital channels in any combination necessary. You have total control over each chamber component, expanding and contracting as test demands vary or grow.

Communication-Ready - Native support for MQTT, OPC UA, Modbus TCP, PROFINET, and EtherCAT allows for plug-and-play real-time data logging to your SCADA/HMI dashboards. Remote monitoring of vital parameters, automatic export of logs, and integration with your Industry 4.0 configuration become a breeze.

Custom Tests, Custom Logic - Whether ASTM B117, ISO 9227, or your own proprietary cycle, programmable sequences allow you to specify start/stop times, spray cycles, and number of repetitions. Switch to new standards with ease without re-wiring or re-engineering your setup.

Remote Diagnostics - Eliminate extraneous lab trips with integrated troubleshooting capabilities. See live status, detect faults, and edit logic remotely—so you can maintain tests operating smoothly, even from miles away.

A few thoughts on toilets

It seems to me that as one ages some “little” accommodations become far more significant than they might in youth. Take toilet height for example. A measly 2 inches when trying to stand with old, aching joints can seem require a mountain of effort. Our 6 month temporary abode had an old style toilet — rim of the bowl a scant 14 inches off the floor. The apartment we moved out of had already been…

tags: fluff, 18+, blowjobs, semi-public sex, lots of lipstick, satoru wears elf lip shimmer don't take it up with me take it up with gege

✧˖*° thinking about going to sephora with satoru...

“This one’s cute on you, ‘toru.” You hum, spreading the elf shimmer across his pink lips. They pull up in an endearing smirk, and you couldn’t help smiling yourself, it was unfair how pretty he was.

“Really? What shade is it?” He lifted your hand to read the shade on the bottle, the pale skin of the back of his hand covered in your multicolored lipstick and eyeshadow swatches. 

You squish his cheeks together, his glossed lips pursing as you cock your head, “I like this one, ‘think I’ll get it too.” 

“Yeah?” Satoru’s arms circle your waist as he pulls you in closer, pressing his lips to yours in a messy and unecessary kiss. You’re sure people are staring and are breathless when he pulls away, smiling down at you innocently, “looks good on you.” 

You glance at a nearby mirror, “god, you’re such a perv.” You swipe at the residue across your upper lip and press your lips together, “but you’re right, should we match, babe?” 

Satoru nuzzles his face into your neck as he smirks at you in the mirror, “I dunno, I think it kinda looks better on me.” 

“Does it?” 

“Mhm, I mean if I walk out of the store like this there’ll be a mob.” He presses a kiss to your neck, arms still circled around your hips, “you already have a hard enough time with me as is, baby, I wouldn’t want to give you any more trouble.” He gives you a ridiculous pout in the mirror and you flick him in the forehead, pulling yourself from his grasp and sauntering to another isle. 

You’re scrutinizing a wine colored Dior lipstick when Satoru totters after you, holding your already full basket of makeup. “That’ll look pretty on you.” He muses, eyeing a YSL burgundy colored lipstick before tossing it in the cart, “Ooh, and that one.” He grasps another violet lipstick beside it, “this one too.”

“Really? B-But I’m scared you’ll outshine me.” You say with a fake pout and Satoru chuckles. 

“i know, baby, not everyone can look this good.” He lilts arrogantly and you pinch his cheek, laughing as he winces. 

You glance back down at the red lipstick in your hand, scrutinizing the label, “Hm, says this is transfer and water proof. But I feel like they always lie.” 

“Really?” He says, hands finding their way around your waist once again, you can see his grin in the mirror, the one you know spells trouble, "Let’s buy it and test it out then.” Satoru murmurs into your ear.

You shake your head shamefully at him and place the red lipstick in the cart...But there’s already a smile pulling at your lips, “You’re right, and we can try out the other one’s out as well.” 

✰

“seems Dior doesn’t disappoint.” You murmur, glancing at your lips in your compact mirror. The lipstick hadn't budged one bit, still perfectly dark red and in place upon your lips.

Satoru on the other hand…“You look soo prettyy, baby.” He slurs, completely and utterly overstimulated, cheeks flushed and eyes lidded. “Red is your color, girl.” You laugh at his delirium and he giggles in response, brushing a trembling thumb across your painted lips. 

“Thanks, babe,” You smile, pressing a kiss to his finger, “Let’s check one more time, you know I like to be sure about my makeup.” 

Satoru’s eyes widened despite the stiffness quickly returning to his trembling cock, “I-I don’t think I can anymore, baby.” He tries, giving you a nervous smile.

“C’monn, this was your idea, 'toru.” The second Satoru handed his black card to the cashier at sephora, the two of you sauntered across the mall to a department store, with striped black and white bags in hand (or more in Satoru’s hands), and grabbed a random article of clothing before piling into the dressing room. That was only what, three orgasms ago..?

“And it’s already hard for me.” You murmured, stroking his cock in your warm grasp, acrylic nailed-fingers slick with his cum. “You don’t want to help me anymore, baby?” You asked with furrowed eyebrows, your red lips down in a pout, and fuck he couldn't refuse you when you look at him like that. 

“I-I do, it’s just—ah” You don’t give him a chance to finish as you take him into your mouth again, his thick length slowly disappearing between your lucious red lips. Satoru gives a nervous laugh, moaning at the feeling of your perfect tongue sliding along his cock. “Fuuuck, baby.”

It doesn’t help that you’re making little moans in the back of your throat as you do it, the little vibrations sending tingles throughout his whole body and he has to remind himself that he can’t be loud. 

You pull off him with a sigh, lips shiny with his pre but still so gorgeously red, “You gotta be rough with me, 'toru, c’mon. I know you love fucking my mouth.” 

If he wasn’t so fucked out he’d give a snide reply, but he doesn’t understand how he hasn’t passed out as you fasten your lips around him again. He’s whimpering as you deep throat him, then sifting his fingers through your hair and forcing you down on his cock, whining a little at the surprised sound you make as you slightly choke on him. 

Tears are springing to your eyes now and you’re struggling to breath, but there’s a thrill in that, you’re sure your panties are drenched and you’re dripping all over the carpeted floor of this department store changing room. Satoru’s practically drooling as he moans and whimpers, his words all gibberish as he sloppily fucks your throat. And then he pushes you down to the base, your nose nestled into his soft pubic hair as he empties his load down your throat. Somehow that makes you moan louder than he does. 

You ignore the urge to overstimulate him further, pulling off his softening cock and pressing a kiss to his stomach, “good job, Satoru," you coo, "you’re so good for me.” 

He pulls you up and into a kiss, much less messy than the one that got the two of you in here, more lazy and loving. When you pull away, you rub your thumb along satoru’s pink lips, not a trace of red in sight. “What the fuck is this stuff made of?” You murmur and Satoru chuckles, pressing a kiss to your cheek.

“what are you made of, you almost killed me, girl!"  

You laughed, “Hey, you started it.” He pressed another kiss to the side of your lips, then your neck, then kneels down in front of you, his blue eyes twinkling as he looks up at you. You card your fingers through his hair as you smile down at him.

“can I finish it too?"

and then they got banned from the department store.
