ASTM D-2850, D-4767;AASHTO T-296, T-297; BS-1377.

  • Working pressures up to 250 psi (1,700 kPa).
  • All around visibility.
  • Double drainage.
  • Accepts Submersible Load Transducer.

Triaxial Cells are designed to meet the requirements of the modern soils laboratory.Three quick release tie rods are used to attach the cylinder and head assembly to the base.The high quality finish between the piston and the head, the use of an O-ring seal, and special lubricant reduce friction levels and eliminate water leakage. Each cell has five base ports; two for top drainage/backpressure, two for bottom drainage/pore pressure, and one for confining pressure.Two no-volume change valves and an anvil for strain indicator/transducers are supplied as standard.
