Triaxial Test Set
Product Code : LSK-SM-10674
Triaxial Test Set (SKU LSK-SM-10674) is a triaxial cell with the specimen accessories needed to test cylindrical soil samples up to 70 mm diameter under confining pressure. It supports unconsolidated undrained, consolidated undrained, consolidated drained and unconfined compression tests. Geotechnical labs in engineering colleges, universities and research institutes use it. Science Lab Supplies supplies the set from Ambala, India to these labs, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Everything in the set is sized for 70 mm (2.8 in) specimens: the cell, pedestal, aluminium base plate and drained top cap, a latex membrane and neoprene O-ring to seal the sample, two porous discs, filter drains, a suction sleeve stretcher and a two-part split mould for forming specimens.

Applications and Experiments for the Triaxial Test Set
The triaxial test measures soil shear strength under a confining pressure that represents conditions in the ground. By choosing drainage and consolidation conditions, one set covers UU, CU and CD tests for total or effective strength parameters, plus unconfined compression of cohesive soils.
- B.Tech / B.E. civil engineering: unconsolidated undrained triaxial and unconfined compression practicals.
- M.Tech geotechnical engineering: CU and CD tests for effective stress strength parameters.
- Research and consultancy labs: shear strength data for slope, embankment and foundation design.
The cell is pressurised during a test, so release the cell pressure fully before opening it or removing the specimen.
Standard Scope of Supply
The set comprises the triaxial cell with the 70 mm pedestal, base plate, top cap, latex membrane, O-ring, two porous discs, a pack of 50 filter drains, a suction sleeve stretcher and a split mould. A load frame and pressure and volume change equipment are not in the listed contents.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Request a quotation for a single set or several for a teaching lab; each one lists the packing, delivery time and price for your quantity. Extra membranes and filter drains, or a load frame, can be requested on the same quotation from one TVET lab equipment supplier.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies is able to ship to buyers in Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman and the Philippines. The contact page takes technical questions, the enquiry cart collects your item list, and the lab tender page covers tender purchasing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which triaxial tests can the set perform?
It covers unconsolidated undrained (UU), consolidated undrained (CU) and consolidated drained (CD) triaxial tests, plus unconfined compression (UC), all on specimens up to 70 mm diameter.
Is a load frame included?
No. The listing covers the cell and the 70 mm specimen accessories. A load frame and pressure and volume change equipment are separate items that can be added to the same quotation.
How many porous discs and filter drains come with it?
The porous discs come as a set of two and the filter drains as a pack of 50, both sized for 70 mm specimens.
Who supplies the Triaxial Test Set?
Science Lab Supplies, operating from Ambala, India, supplies the set to universities, engineering colleges, research institutes, contractors and distributors.
Related Soil Strength Testing Equipment
Triaxial results are often checked against simpler strength tests and need well-prepared, well-characterised specimens, so these Soil Mechanics items are ordered alongside: a direct shear machine, a consolidation apparatus, a compactor and an oven.
- Direct Shear Apparatus — shear strength on a fixed plane, including residual tests.
- Consolidation Apparatus — compressibility of the same clays.
- Automatic Mechanical Soil Compactor — compacted soil for remoulded specimens.
- Laboratory Bench Oven — moisture content after testing.
