UniversalTriaxial Cell

Low friction linear (Thompson) ball bushing on loading

shaft to AASHTO TP46 / T307

The Universal Triaxial Cell is a versatile device for testing applications where lateral confinement of the specimen is necessary.

This triaxial cell is suitable for a range of materials including asphalt, soils and unbound granular materials.

■ Adaptable to multiple specimen sizes (removable bottom section)

■ Facilitates up to 3 through the wall radial strain transducers

■ Low friction linear ball bushing on load shaft

■ Acrylic "see through" window

■ Provision for internal temperature measurement

■ Provision for up to 5 electrical connections for on-specimen transducers

■ A range of top & bottom platens are available to accomodate various specimen sizes;

SPECIFICATIONS

Features

• Low friction linear (Thompson) ball bushing on loading shaft (AASHTO/T307).

• Limited acrylic (see through) area for greater safety.

• Fitted with pressure relief valve for greater safety.

• Facilitates external axial strain transducer mounting system

  (as recommended in AASHTO TP46/T307).

• Facilitates up to three “through the wall” radial strain transducers.

• Facilitates internal temperature measurement.

• Provision of up to five electrical “feed through” connectors (three provided as standard)

  to accommodate internal transducers.

• Provision of anchor points for the bottom platen and triaxial cell, to facilitate direct tension testing.
