Three-Axis Cells
Product Code: Cells
GDS produces a wide range of triaxial cells to meet the complex tests required by modern geotechnical laboratories today.
Traditional passive triaxial cells (known as passive because they are used with an external actuator such as a load frame to apply axial loads), large diameter triaxial cells (up to 500 mm sample diameter), active triaxial cells (based on Bishops), and Wesley's original hydraulic stress path apparatus (with a 'built-in' actuator) are available from GDS. Additionally, cells specially designed for dynamic triaxial testing with low friction bearings and seals are available. Furthermore, there are a number of features such as balanced ram triaxial cells, access ports, and access rings for the provided internal transducers.
