Accessories

Accessories for Automatic Triaxial Test System
The proper model can be selected from our range (see triaxial load frame TRITECH and Banded triaxial cells or Double wall triaxial cells required for unsaturated tests) or, as an alternative, existing machines can be used.
Data acquisition and control unit Data acquisition and control unit transmitting data and information between the software and all the active components, such as pressure controllers and Tritech triaxial load frame.
Pressure/volume controller Four models are available depending on max pressure capacity (3500 or 1700 kPa) and number of pressure lines (one or two).
Triaxial test automatic control and processing software. The AUTOTRIAX EmS software is a comprehensive and user-friendly interface between the operator and the testing system.
The Autotriax EmS configurations can be extended and expanded in subsequent steps, to control further tests by adding proper components. These operations can be easily made on-site just configuring the user-friendly software, as a plug-and-play system.
