Automatic Triaxial Testing System
Product Code : JA-ST-9785
The Automatic Triaxial Testing System (SKU JA-ST-9785) runs triaxial tests on soil under the control of a Windows PC. The operator picks the test from a menu, such as a multi-stage or stress path test, enters the cell pressure, back pressure, testing rate and termination conditions, and the test then runs on its own with all data saved to file. It is supplied by JaincoLab with 38 mm and 50 mm diameter triaxial cells.
Specifications
The system is built from the components below; control and logging data are as listed.

Uses of the automatic triaxial testing system
Because the PC holds pressures and rate for the whole test, the system is used where triaxial tests run for long periods:
- Consolidated and drained triaxial tests that take many hours or days
- Multi-stage triaxial tests on a single specimen
- Stress path tests in research and postgraduate soil mechanics
- Commercial geotechnical laboratories that need test data stored directly to file
Scope of supply and ordering
The listing covers the load frame, pressure volume controllers, 38 mm and 50 mm triaxial cells and the control software; the PC itself and any extra cell sizes are itemised on the quotation. Order quantity, packing and delivery time are set out on each quotation.
Frequently asked questions
Which test types can the system run?
The operator chooses the test from a menu that includes multi-stage and stress path tests, then enters the cell pressure, back pressure, testing rate and termination conditions.
What does the PC record during a test?
Besides controlling cell pressure, back pressure and rate, the computer logs axial displacement, axial load, pore pressure and volume change to the PC hard drive and shows up to three graphs live.
Which triaxial cell sizes come with it?
The system is supplied with triaxial cells of 38 mm and 50 mm diameter.
