LATERAL PRESSURE ASSEMBLY.

LATERAL PRESSURE ASSEMBLY.

It is designed for application of cell pressures up to 10 kg / cm² or 20 kg / cm² on a triaxial specimen in the triaxial cell. This unit is mostly used in routine tests, which last for about 10 to 15 minutes wherein the variation of cell pressure can be tolerated.

The apparatus consists of a pressure chamber which has a flanged top cap fitted with a 10 kg/cm2. Pressure gauge and a Schrader valve for pumping in air. Water inlet and drain cock are fitted to the chamber. The foot pump is also supplied which develops a pressure of 10 kg / cm² or 20 kg / cm². Complete with connecting pressure hose.
