Description

Submersible load cells have been designed to work inside the triaxial cells. They have a lower hysteresis and very good linearity tighter with a substantial overload safety feature. Advantages: 

  • Load reading remains unaffected throughout pressure range of use.
  • No need to correct for ram up thrust
  • No need to correct for ram friction .

They are supplied complete with rams to suit  Banded triaxial cells or standard triaxial cells . Standard models of submersible cells are also supplied complete with extension kit for small samples.
The versions for Dynamic testing are practically identical to the standard models except for the connections to the system.
