True Triaxial Apparatus
Product Code : JA-ST-9803
The True Triaxial Apparatus (SKU JA-ST-9803) controls all three principal stresses on a soil specimen independently, where a conventional triaxial apparatus controls only two. The vertical axis and one horizontal axis are loaded by dynamic actuators, electro-mechanical as standard or hydraulic as an option, while the third axis is controlled through cell pressure. This lets research laboratories run cyclic loading and complex stress paths. It is supplied by JaincoLab.

Frequently asked questions
How does a true triaxial apparatus differ from a conventional one?
All three principal stresses are controlled independently, whereas a conventional triaxial system controls only two of them.
How is each axis loaded?
Axis 1 (vertical) and axis 2 (one horizontal axis) are loaded by dynamic actuators, and stress on axis 3 is controlled through cell pressure.
Which actuators are available?
Electro-mechanical actuators are standard, with hydraulic actuators as an option.
