Submersible Load Transducers

u u u u Eliminates effects of piston friction on readings Unaffected by cell conning pressures Easily installed in triaxial cell Supplied complete with calibration certicate and 5-pin DIN type connector for use with ADU

Submersible Load Transducers are used to measure accurately the axial loads applied to triaxial test specimens. Consisting of a load cell and piston assembly these units replace the standard triaxial cell loading piston. A major advantage is that these transducers measure loads directly on top of the specimen. All transducers are supplied complete with a 5-pin DIN type connector and calibration certicate.
