QRT-series Quick release triaxial cell

The Quick Release Triaxial Cell enables streamlined testing for rock specimens with diameters that vary from 21.5 mm (EX) to 54 mm (NX). The rock sample, along with the top and bottom platens, is enclosed in a heat-shrinkable sleeve. This entire setup is then precisely positioned and centered in the cell using a guiding tool. After alignment, three instrumented lateral actuators equipped with pressure-compensated LVDTs make contact with the sleeve to accurately measure diametral strains. Axial strains are gauged using two averaging vertical LVDTs. For effective operation, the QRT series cell needs to be integrated into a system that includes an external axial load actuator, such as a load frame, and one or more high-pressure pumps for fluid injection and confining pressure application.
