The ErgoTech Compact Instrumented Triaxial Cell is a single entry multi-dimension device. It accepts Ø1” & Ø1.5” test jackets with bonded standoffs at 4 positions, 90° equispaced around the circumference of the test sample. The standoffs accommodate a Universal 2 Channel Cantilever Transducer.
The cell body is fitted with double quick release hydraulic fittings and unscrewable high pressure electrical feedthrus and a snorkel to remove entrapped air when the cell is used for the first time or when sample jacket diameter change is required.
The axial platens are fitted with crossbars to accommodate 2 LVDTs at 180° equispaced around the core sample. The platens are centrally bored for pore pressure measurement. The top platen terminates in a spherical seat for minor out of parallelism compensation for the test cores.
The test cell is fully supported with auxiliary tools to assist in assembly, disassembly and maintenance.
The cell weight is compensated by an adjustable height support frame (support ring and 3 spring loaded legs)
