The Triaxial Cell consists of a perspex (acrylic plastic) chamber with an anvil and a loading plunger. Releasing four tie rods easily splits the cell. It is leakproof up to 10 bar (10kg/cm) fluid pressure. Cells that withstand pressures of 20 bar can be made on request. An oil plug and air vent are provided for introducing a thin layer of oil over water.

The cells are for testing specimens measuring 38mm diameter x 76mm long and 50mm diameter x 100mm long.

An oil plug and air vent are provided for introducing a thin layer of oil over water. This provides effective sealing at the plunger for long duration tests. The cell is also fitted with four ball valves of no-volume change type, at the base.
