It is used to apply a constant axial load to three specimens, at the same time.
It performs an anisotropic consolidation stage reducing the consolidation testing times.
It is made of a resistant metallic structure which accepts up to 3 triaxial cells for specimens diameter 38 mm up to 100 mm, and it is provided with centering plate cells.
Load can be applied through an hanger with two different ratios:
- Ratio 1:1 (directly), maximum load for each cell: 50 kg
- Ratio 5:1 (by means of a lever), maximum load for each cell: 250 kg
Dimensions: 2300x400x1800 mm
Weight: 150 kg approx.
