Uniaxial & Triaxial Testing Systems with Manual Lateral Pressure
UTR-0452 Manual pressure equipment is used for maintaining the constant lateral pressure in the Hoek triaxial cells and consists of a hydrolic hand pump with oil reservoir (UTGE-3800), a precision LPI digital readout unit (UTC-4920.LP), a pressure transducer (UTGM-1440) and a 2m long flexible hose with quick release coupling(UTGP-1144).
Any capacity which depends of rigidity and sizes of rock specimens to be tested, EN or ASTM automatic compression testing machines can be used for appliying vertical load required for the triaxial and uniaxial tests. As option for weaker rock specimens, the compression machines can be upgraded with option UTC-0210 special calibration procedure to have Class 1 starting from 1% of the full range of the capacity
