Three-place consolidation load frame
Used to apply a constant load to the piston of the triaxial cell, it reduces the consolidation testing times leaving available the compression machine.
It measures the axial strain of the specimens and performs simultaneously the anisotropic consolidation stage of up to three specimens.
Load can be applied through a hanger with a direct ratio: 1:1, or through lever with ratio 5:1.
Maximum load of 250 Kg. each place. The frame, resistant metallic construction, accepts up to 3 triaxial cells for specimens dia. 35 mm up to 100 mm, and is provided with suitable centering plate cells.
