Description

Axial strain dial indicators; 30-WF6401, 30-WF6402, 30-WF6403
50 mm dial diameter, clockwise rotation. Supplied complete with rear mounts for connection to load rings.

Load rings
Load rings can be used for load measurement and for calibration of testing machines. All model are made from special alloy steel and they are supplied complete with analogue dial gauge 0.01 mm, analogue dial gauge 0.001 mm and digital dial gauge 0.001 mm and calibration chart.

All models can be fitted with T1000/F (see accessories), a special stem brake unit which maintains the maximum reading after the failure of the specimen

Load ring can be directly connected to the adapter fit on the crosshead of triaxial frames. Using the 28-WF1049 connector (see accessories) they can be adapted to our complete range of triaxial cells.

  • High resolution dial gauge. 0.001 mm (analogue and digital)
  • Accuracy: ±1%
  • Dimensions: 182 mm dia, 214 mm high
  • Weight approx.: 1.2 to 2.2 kg

Pore water pressure measurement

Pore pressure can be precisely measured with this electronic system connected to the pressure transducers (eg. Our models 28-WF6300) fit to the triaxial cell by the de-airing block 28-WF6310 (for the Banded triaxial cells) or by the de-airing block 28-WF4459 (for the Standard triaxial cells).

No need of Data acquisition system, so it can be use for triaxial test with manual mechanical measuring mode.

Double burette volume change apparatus

The apparatus comprises two measurement tubes, which have a 25 ml burette mounted internally  and an acrylic tube externally. The burette tubes are connected directly to a reversing valve system, which is used to reverse the direction of travel of the interface in the measurement tubes without affecting the direction of flow of water to or from the triaxial cell. The unit also includes a by-pass valve system when volume change measurement is not required. Burettes are calibrated to Class A.
