The LoadTrac II/FlowTrac II system for triaxial testing fully automates the conduct of CU, CD and any possible stress path triaxial test on soils. Once a soil sample is in place, and the test conditions are selected, the LoadTrac II/FlowTrac II system will run the entire triaxial test from start to finish. This system is operated by software which automates the initialization, saturation, consolidation (isotropic, anisotropic or Ko) and shear phases of the test.
