Model:SS-HCA d SS-HCA s SS-HCA II
Use:A highly sophisticated, research focused, version of the traditional Hoek cell that can be fully instrumented. With 70MPa cell pressure and maximum loads up to 2MN.
Standard:GBT 50123-2019
Product Code : GDSHC
The GDS Instrumented Hoek Cell uniquely combines the measurement versatility of a high pressure triaxial cell with the compact size, simplicity, ease of use and high testing throughput of a traditional Hoek-Franklin type cell.
Key features | Benefits to the user |
---|---|
Fixed Core Sleeve: | The core sleeve can be left in place for multiple samples. Subsequent tests can be performed with minimum preparation and set-up time. |
Top cap and pedestal drainage lines: | Samples can be saturated and permeability tests carried out |
Electrical Feedthroughs as standard: | Up to 18 electrical feedthroughs to allow internal sensors to be used, also 18 channels are user configurable to any of the following: single 50Ohm coaxial, triple 50Ohm coaxial or 5 pin. |
Hardened Stainless steel topcap: | Can be used with saturated samples, also reduces corrosion to the cell, especially with temperature upgrades. |
Optional Acoustic Velocity System: |
|
Optional Passive and Active Mode Acoustic Emission sensors: |
Hit counter: logs the number of AE events only
|
Optional Environmental Control: |
Temperature controlled testing to either:
|
Local Strain Measurement: | Cantilever sensors for measuring radial displacement |
Axial Load |
<2MN |
