The load frame is built around a robust twin column structure, ensuring extremely high rigidity up to 50 kN.

The frame is equipped with micro switches that prevent over-travel problems.  The panel and display are protected from water and dust by a waterproof membrane. In manual mode, the user-friendly keyboard on the front panel is used to control all the frame’s functions, including a rapid approach facility that reduces test set-up time. For efficient use the last settings are automatically recalled after switch on.

When the frame is used in PC control mode, all the main functions (speed fast/slow, direction up/down, stop).  All functions can also be remotely managed by PC via a set of commands in ASCII format using RS 232 port. 

Main Features:

Designed for soil testing laboratories to perform UU, CU and CD triaxial tests on samples from 38 to 70 mm dia.

Maximum load frame capacity: 50 kN

Maximum testing load depending on the selected test speed (variable from 35 to 7 kN)   

Ideal solution for commercial laboratories a machine to perform high quality triaxial tests in addition to unconfined and general purpose compression tests.

Large High-contrast 4 x 20-character display and 6-keys membrane keyboard

Maximum sample diameter (for triaxial testing): 70 mm

The choice of the opportune load cell capacity shall take into account this value

Speed range from 0.00001 to 50.8 mm/min
