About This Product
In a triaxial test a cylindrical soil specimen is enclosed in a rubber sheath inside a water-filled cell. Pressure is applied to the water to load the specimen from all sides, and an axial load is then applied through the plunger until the soil fails. Readings of load, deformation and pore water pressure let students find the shear strength of the soil. The base valves connect the cell to the pressure, drainage and measuring lines used in the test.
