About This Product
The apparatus is designed to reduce testing time for triaxial tests in a laboratory where only one triaxial compression machine is available. Three specimens can go through the anisotropic consolidation stage together on the bench, and a beam loading device on each frame reduces the number of dead weights required. Triaxial cells of other makes can be used with little adjustment, provided they have the stated centring hole.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many specimens can the Consolidation Test Apparatus consolidate at once?
Three triaxial specimens, one on each load frame, for CU and CD tests in anisotropic conditions.
Can it be used with other triaxial cells?
Yes, with little adjustment, if the cell has a centring hole 13 mm in diameter and 3 mm deep. It takes specimens from 35 to 100 mm diameter.
