Product Code:
PYINLAB610001
Description:
Lab Consolidation Test Apparatus
Specification:
The apparatus has been designed to reduce the testing time for triaxial
tests, where only one compression machine is available.
Ergonomic design for better use of space in the laboratory
With this equipment it is possible to perform the consolidation stage of
three triaxial specimens at the same time for CU and CD tests in
anisotropic conditions.
The apparatus consists of a steel bench complete with three load frames
and centering platens, for all our triaxial cells for specimens 35 to
100 mm dia.
It can also be used for other make of triaxial cells, provided that they
are equipped with a centering hole 13 mm dia. x 3 mm deep.
Each consolidation frame can be equipped with a beam loading device to
reduce the number of dead weights required for anisotropic consolidation
(see accessories).
Weights can be placed on both the centre hanger and on the lever hanger.
The weights of the loading frames have been reduced to minimum so that a
counter balance of the frame is not required.
The apparatus has to be completed with the axial displacement gauges or
transducers, Beam loading device(s) and Slotted weights.
To perform simultaneously the anisotropic consolisdation stage of three
triaxial specimens
To reduce the testing time, here only one triaxial compression machine
is available.
For triaxial cells up to 100 mm dia. specimens
Suitable for other make of triaxial cells (with little adjustment).
