TRITECH / TRIAX50
The TRITECH range of triaxial load frames has been designed to be also used as part of a computer-controlled triaxial system or as a stand-alone unit. The RS 232 interface enables the TRITECH to be used for automatic stress path tests.
The control buttons on the front panel provide fast/slow, up/down and stop commands for platen movement. A waterproof membrane seals the panel and digital display from water and dust.
A rapid approach facility is provided to reduce set-up time. The automatic datum facility returns the TRITECH to previous settings when switched on and micro switches prevent platen over travel.
The load frame is of rigid chromed steel twin column construction, for rigidity at high loads. All external parts are either stove enamel painted or chrome plated for corrosion protection. The loading platen is made from stainless steel.
The TRITECH machines are versatile, compact and easy to use bench mounted load frames. They can be used for a variety of test procedures from simple uniaxial to the more sophisticated effective stress triaxial tests, and can also be fitted with pneumatic actuator to perform, with the other suitable apparatus, static/dynamic tests. The machines have to be completed with the load measurement system and displacement transducers.
