Triaxial test – Universal and Automatic Triaxial Cell for UTM and AsphaltQube

AASHTO T307, AASHTO T342 / TP62, AASHTO T378 / TP79, AASHTO TP46, EN 12697-25 Method B, NCHRP 9-29

Universal and automatic triaxial cell for UTM and AsphaltQube testing systems specifically designed to perform triaxial tests on asphalt mix.

Incorporated low friction linear (Thompson) ball bushing on loading shaft to keep fiction to a minimum
Limited acrylic (see through) area for greater safety
Facilitates 2 LVDTs and mounting brackets for precise direct shaft position measurement
Fitted with pressure relief valve for greater safety
Facilitates external axial strain transducer mounting system
Facilitates up to three “through the wall” radial strain transducers (UTM only)
Facilitates internal temperature measurement
Facilitates three internal transducers with Lemo “feed-through” connectors as standard and has provision of up to five electrical “feed-through” connectors
Provision of anchor points for the bottom platen and triaxial cell, to facilitate direct tension testing
Geotechnical version available with pore and back pressure ports
Versatile, user friendly and accurate device for triaxial confinement of the specimen
Suitable for asphalt, soils and unbound granular materials

Automatic pneumatically operated lift cylinders that raise and lower the cell wall
Fitted with pressure relief valve for greater safety
Crystal clear heavy duty acrylic cell wall for maximum visibility of specimen
Low friction loading shaft
Capable of operating between -15° to +60° C
Provision for pressure and temperature transducers
Provision for up to three (internal) on specimen transducers
Cell pressure up to 275 kPa
Versatile, user friendly and accurate device for lateral confinement of the specimen
Suitable for asphalt, soils and unbound granular materials

Triaxial cell to be used only with AsphaltQube, in compliance with EN 12697-25B and AASHTO T378 / TP79, is also available.
