Hoek Cell
Product Code : JA-RT-9850
The Hoek Cell (SKU JA-RT-9850) is a triaxial cell for testing the strength of rock or concrete cores under confining pressure of up to 70 MPa. It accepts EX, AX, BX, NX and 38 mm samples. Testing a series of samples at different confining pressures lets the user determine strength and elastic properties, modulus of elasticity and Poisson's ratio, shear strength and the angle of shearing resistance. This Hoek triaxial cell is supplied by JaincoLab for rock mechanics, mining and civil engineering laboratories.
Specifications
The cell is rated to 70 MPa and takes EX, AX, BX, NX and 38 mm cores of rock or concrete; body material and dimensions are not listed in the product data and are confirmed on the quotation.

Experiments with the Hoek triaxial cell
Students place a core in the cell, apply confining pressure from a pressure system and load the core axially to failure, repeating at several pressures to build the strength envelope.
- Triaxial compressive strength of rock
- Modulus of elasticity and Poisson's ratio
- Shear strength at different confining pressures
- Angle of shearing resistance
- Rock mechanics practicals in mining and civil engineering
