Triaxial Test Set on Rock Specimens

The manual pressure system is used for maintaining the constant lateral pressure in the Hoek triaxial cells and consists of a hydraulic hand pump with oil reservoir, a precision digital readout unit, a pressure transducer and a 3 m long flexible hose with quick release coupling.

StandardsCompliance :

• Complied as per EN 1926, 14580; ASTM D2664, D2938, D3148, D5407

Application :

• The manual pressure system is used with any Hoek triaxial cell and 2000 kN Automatic Compression Testing Machine for the triaxial tests.
• Hoek Triaxial Cells :BX type (°42.04 mm), NX type (°54.74 mm) and HQ type (°63.5 mm) Hoek cells have been designed for triaxial testing of rock specimens.

Construction of Hoek Cells :

• Hoek cells comprise a steel body complete with two quick release self-sealing couplings, two steel end caps which are screwed to the cell body, two pieces of upper and lower loading caps with spherical coupling and a rubber sealing sleeve to separate the specimen from the cell fluid.

Triaxial Test Set:

• Complete with hand-operated pressure system for lateral pressure in Hoek Cell with 700 bar capacity.
