Description
Advanced triaxial test system is a comprehensive, automated laboratory instrument for determining soil shear strength under various drainage conditions. This system supports all three key triaxial testing types — Unconsolidated Undrained (UU), Consolidated Undrained (CU), and Consolidated Drained (CD) — making it a vital tool in geotechnical engineering, construction quality control, and academic research.
The system replicates in-situ soil stress conditions, offering insight into soil stability and potential failure zones. Through its highly sensitive sensors and precision servo motor control, the Advanced Triaxial Test System ensures data consistency, whether testing cohesive clay samples or sandy non-cohesive soils. The software interface automates the process of load application, measurement, and graphical output, minimizing human error.
The heart of the system lies in its automated data acquisition and high-speed logging capability, which allows engineers to capture critical transitions during failure. A customizable loading rate, pressure control system, and live graph plotting offer complete flexibility for research or standardized testing.Advanced triaxial test system UU CU CD capable for accurate soil shear strength testing in labs.
