Working pressures up to 250 psi (1,700 kPa). All around visibility. Double drainage. Accepts Submersible Load Transducer.
ELE Triaxial Cells are designed to meet the requirements of the modern soils laboratory.Three quick release tie rods are used to attach the cylinder and head assembly to the base.The high quality finish between the piston and the head, the use of an O-ring seal, and special lubricant reduce friction levels and eliminate water leakage. Each cell has five base ports; two for top drainage/backpressure, two for bottom drainage/pore pressure, and one for confining pressure.Two no-volume change valves and an anvil for strain indicator/transducers are supplied as standard.
The Tri-Flex 2 Triaxial Cell incorporates many features that promote ease in specimen preparation and installation.The cell consists of an aluminum alloy head assembly with a piston assembly that features the use of linear bearings for virtually, friction-free movement. A stainless steel base assembly with no-volume change type valves at all specimen inflow and outflow ports provides additional corrosion resistance and prevention of pressure changes during test procedures. Through the use of the cells optional specimen caps and base pedestals, specimens ranging in size from 1.4" (35 mm) to as large as 4" (102 mm) in diameter can easily be tested.

The operator has complete control of system pressure and flow measurements during specimen testing, with three independently-controlled pressure regulators one for confining or cell pressure; one for lower or pore/head pressure; and one for upper or back/tail pressure.The bridging feature lets the operator quickly set the pressures of multiple burette systems with just one regulator. Each burette/annulus assembly has a selector which opens or closes the access to the annulus.When opened, up to 400 ml of water is available to the operator for specimen saturation and other test stages without refilling the burette assembly. By a simple flip of a switch to activate the digital pressure display system, any of the regulated pressures can be displayed in digital form to an accuracy of 0.25% of reading within range. The Tri-Flex 2 Master Control Panel is designed in full compliance with ASTM and AASHTO specifications for use in the application, monitoring and data recording of test conditions.

Used worldwide for stress controlled consolidation testing, the Pneumatic Consolidation Apparatus is a pneumatic load frame designed to apply loads instantaneously and to maintain any set load, regardless of sample compression occurring within the loading interval.The unit is self-contained with a built-in digital display with 0.25% accuracy. Available in three load ranges, the load frame uses a dual-piston system for handling loads to 32 tsf while retaining sensitivity in the lower load ranges. A precision, low-bleed type of pressure regulator is used to set and maintain the load on the specimen. Adjustable centering pads on the load platform aid in aligning the consolidometer and will accept any consolidometer up to a maximum diameter of 7.25" (184 mm).The top loading design eliminates time consuming weight calculations.

Moisture Testers
Large, easy-to-read digital display. Solid state AC circuitry assures long trouble-free service. Low battery power indicator. Rugged plastic case with belt clip for easy portability.
The Speedy 2000 moisture testing kit which combines the most popular and versatile Speedy model with an electronic balance and a heavy-duty plastic case. The waterproof and durable case offers the highest level of protection. A foam insert secures the contents of the kit: the large Speedy body, electronic balance, beaker, cleaning cloth, cap, washer, scoop, steel pulverizing balls, and cleaning brushes.The electronic balance has an easy-to-read LCD display.With a range from 0 - 7oz (0 - 200g), the balance is simple to use, accurate, and repeatable. The Speedy moisture tester determines the moisture content of a broad range of materials. A small sample of the material to be tested is weighed on the balance and then placed in the hand held vessel. A measure of calcium carbide reagent is then added and the vessel sealed.The reagent reacts with the free moisture in the sample to produce acetylene gas, resulting in an increase in pressure within the vessel.The % moisture content of the sample is then read directly from the calibrated pressure gauge.
The Digital Soil Moisture Meter is designed to measure the resistance of the soil block in ohms.The test reading is converted to a corresponding reading between 0 and 100 on an empirical scale and displayed on the meter.This empirical range covers the soil suction range of 0.2 to 15 bars.The moisture content for different types of soils corresponding to the meter reading can be determined, using the calibration graphs provided.

Set includes: 1 1 1 2 1 EI2800. Liquid Limit Device with ASTM Grooving Tools (24-0435). Graduated Cylinder 100 ml (88-6007). Mixing Dish (88-6712). Doz. Moisture Content Cans (88-7002). Flexible Spatula (88-7500).
The Plastic Grooving Tool is used to control the width of the soil groove in the liquid limit cup. With traditional metal grooving tools, the cups get scratched; the costly metal tools get worn but are still used giving inaccurate test results. By color-coding the grooving tools, the laboratory manager can easily identify and replace old tools at specific intervals, assuring tool accuracy and testing results.
