Soil Mechanics
Electronic Measurement Components
28-WF4410
All testing machines require sensors for measuring physical quantity during tests. This section includes all the electronic measuring devices to be fitted on standard or automatic machines typically used in a soil mechanics laboratory such as load cells, displacement transducers, pressure transducers and volume change devices.
Submersible Load Cells
Submersible (internal) load cells have been designed to work inside the triaxial cells.
External Load Cells
Used for measuring the axial force applied to soil sample.
Axial Displacement Transducers
Used for measuring axial deformation on soil sample
Electronic Volume Change Apparatus
Used for measuring variation of volume of soil sample in a triaxial test.
Pressure Transducers
Used for measuring pore water pressure and acquiring cell pressure, back pressure.
