Description

To perform Triaxial tests.

Universal triaxial cell

• Incorporated low friction linear (Thompson) ball bushing on loading shaft to keep fiction to a minimum
• Limited acrylic (see through) area for greater safety
• Facilitates 2 LVDTs and mounting brackets for precise direct shaft position measurement
• Fitted with pressure relief valve for greater safety
• Facilitates external axial strain transducer mounting system
• Facilitates up to three “through the wall” radial strain transducers
• Facilitates internal temperature measurement
• Facilitates three internal transducers with Lemo “feed-through” connectors as standard and has provision of up to five electrical “feed-through” connectors
• Provision of anchor points for the bottom platen and triaxial cell, to facilitate direct tension testing
• Geotechnical version available with pore and back pressure ports
• Versatile, user friendly and accurate device for triaxial confinement of the specimen
• Suitable for asphalt, soils and unbound granular materials

Automatic triaxial cell

• Automatic pneumatically operated lift cylinders that raise and lower the cell wall
• Fitted with pressure relief valve for greater safety
• Crystal clear heavy duty acrylic cell wall for maximum visibility of specimen
• Low friction loading shaft
• Capable of operating between -15° to +60° C
• Provision for pressure and temperature transducers
• Provision for up to three (internal) on specimen transducers
• Cell pressure up to 275 kPa
• Versatile, user friendly and accurate device for lateral confinement of the specimen
• Suitable for asphalt, soils and unbound granular materials

Triaxial cell to be used only with AsphaltQube, in compliant with EN 12697-25B, is available.
