Unsaturated Triaxial Systems

High-quality universal testing devices for fully automated standard tests like UU, CU and CD tests as well as fully automatic stress-path controlled tests under saturated and unsaturated conditions.

For triaxial soil testing under unsaturated conditions we provide special modular systems for different sample diameters and stainless steel cells with internal columns. This enables the attachment of the cell mantle after the installation of the sample, the fitting of local sensors and positioning of the top cap and load piston.

The base plate with standard porous plates or special ceramic filter plates with different high-air entry ceramic discs can be installed as a socket for the sample (1, 3, 5 or 15 bar).
