Standard triaxial cells and accessories

Standard Triaxial Cells are used for performing triaxial test – effective/total stress and permeability.

Description

The cell essentially consists of a transparent polycarbonate chamber which has a piston assembly fit to the top and a double flange base fit to the bottom.  Three (or six) simple thumbscrew are used to clamp the upper part of the cell to the base, which make assembly and disassembly a very quick and simple operation. The base of the cell has four inlet points for top drainage/back pressure, cell pressure and bottom drainage/pore water pressure.

Pedestal, top caps, porous discs, rubber membranes, sealing rings and other accessories are not included, please see accessories.
