Triaxial Cells for Soil
Product Code : JA-ST-9839
Triaxial Cells for Soil (SKU JA-ST-9839) hold the soil specimen under cell pressure during triaxial tests. The cell cylinders are acrylic, with those for use up to 20 bar usually reinforced by bands, and each base has four take-off positions for cell pressure, pore water pressure and drainage or back pressure. The cells are made from corrosion-resistant material, with a stainless steel plunger in a finished bushing and no-volume-change valves throughout.
