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. These labs, along with tender contractors and distributors, can request it from Science Lab Supplies, which quotes it from Ambala, India.
Specifications
Each component of the 70 mm triaxial set has a separate row below. In short, the cell, pedestal, aluminium base plate and drained top cap take specimens up to 70 mm (2.8 in), sealed by a latex membrane and neoprene O-ring, with two porous discs, 50 filter drains, a suction sleeve stretcher and a two-part split mould.

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, with specimen diameter and height checked on an Electronic Digital Vernier Caliper.
- 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, compared with results from the Direct Shear Apparatus.
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 part of the set.
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. Membrane and filter-drain quantities can be specified through the contact page, the set placed in the enquiry cart, and university tenders submitted via the lab tender page.
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 set 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 like the rest of the set.
Who supplies the Triaxial Test Set?
Universities, engineering colleges, research institutes, contractors and distributors obtain the set from Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, and its quotation itemises the cell and every 70 mm accessory.
