Columnless Cyclic Triaxial Testing System
Cyclic Triaxial Testing System with compensated Ram
The column-less loading system applies the static and cyclic loads from the bottom of the Triaxial cell. The top of the cell is free operating space to facilitate installation of sample or local strain measuring devices.
The Triaxial cell is connected to a lifting mechanism that lifts the cell wall up and gives the easiest way for the operator to handle the cell.
The load piston has the possibility to compensate for cell pressure changes effected by the volume change of the piston inside the triaxial cell during cyclic and static tests.
This loading system is specially designed and configured for cyclic Triaxial tests and use compensated ram technology. The system includes a special load pistol construction to compensate cell-pressure changes affected by the volume change of the movement of piston in and out of the triaxial cell.
