Triaxial Testing System
The strength, of most rocks, increases considerably with increase of
confining pressure. The design engineer needs to carry out triaxial tests at
a range of confining pressures, in order to determine the strength at the
required confining pressure. To suit individual requirements, a wide range
of instruments listed below is offered.
Triaxial Cells
These cells are designed to withstand a lateral pressure of 150 bar (150
kg/cm2). Four no-volume change valves are fitted to the base for measurement
of pore pressure, top drainage, and bottom drainage and for entry/exit of
cell pressure. The cell is nickel-plated and completely rustproof, hardened
and ground pedestals and top loading pads with suitable cantering
arrangements for different sample sizes are provided. The lower pedestals
are provided with radial grooves. The top-loading pad is provided with
spherical seating. Two port holes are provided to observe the sample during
the assembly stage.
