Triaxial Cell, 2in dia. Specimens (Brass Valves)

HMA-513 Triaxial Test Cell is used to determine the compressive strength of 1.4in to 2in (35.6mm to 50.8mm) maximum diameter soil samples and performs best with the HM-350M Master Control Panel and HM-350A Auxiliary Control Panel. It is also compatible with similar systems. This model is available with rugged quality brass valves and fittings. The Test Cell id equipped with solid, machined aluminum bases to handle heavy loading. The 3.5x8.4in (88.9x213.3mm) chamber interior is constructed of heavy-wall clear acrylic. The unit’s precision-ground load piston is made of polished stainless steel and features internally lubed and sealed U-cup and nylon sleeve bearings, ensuring friction is very low. Cell design also features precision zero-volume change ball valves and a maximum operating pressure of 150psi (10.3 bar).

A Test Cell Kit is required with HM-513 Test Cell for testing soil samples from 1.4 to 2in, and is available separately on the Triaxial Cell Accessories page. Each kit contains the necessary components that are size specific to the specimen and includes an anodized aluminum cap and pedestal, two Porous Stones, two Latex Membranes, and four O-Rings. Also recommended for use in testing and available separately is the HMA-521 Digital Pore Pressure Gauge w/Transducer.
