Triaxial Cell
Model HM-4199B


HM-4199B is ideal for sample sizes from 1.4" (35mm) to 3" (75mm).
The clear acrylic chamber has a working pressure of 150 psi (1,000 Kpa) and is tested to 250 psi (1,700 Kpa). The new state-of-art design features a solid base making it easier to center on the platen and more timely test set-up; top of the cell and chamber are all one piece that easily detaches by removing three knobs for extremely easy access to the sample; de-airing block for the pore pressure transducer is also built into the side of the cell. Cell has five no-volume-change valves aligned on one side for maximum convenience. Two valves handle top drainage, two valves handle bottom drainage, and one valve handles filing/emptying and providing confining pressure to the cell. Removable base pedestal accommodates various sample diameters. Top cap and base pedestal are available in choice of black anodized aluminum or stainless steel in various sizes (see chart below). Other sizes available.
Cell top and base are precision machined from 6061 T6 aluminum, hard-coated and Teflon impregnated. A 5/8" hardened stainless steel piston runs inside a linear bearing to reduce friction. Choice of brass
or stainless steel valve fittings (stainless steel for use with hazardous materials). Order top cap, base pedestal and porous stones separately. Cell 13-3/4"H x 8-3/4" dia. (349.2 x 222.3mm); 11" (279.4mm) overall dia.

Triaxial Accessories
A. Latex Membranes
Made from non-porous latex rubber. Length varies according to sample diameter. All have sufficient length to enclose full length of sample, both top & base of pedestal, and disc—plus enough surplus to allow doubling over the O-rings. 12/pkg.
B. Membrane Stretcher
Simple & effective method of sheathing (encasing) sample with latex membrane without creasing or damaging the sleeve.
C. O-Rings
For sealing membranes from confining fluid and sample. Neoprene. 12/pkg.
D. O-Ring Placing Tool
Position rings to seal membrane with minimum disturbance to specimen.
E. Porous Stones
Used for permeability and triaxial testing to allow even distribution of water through sample. Two stones required per cell, each 1/4" thick (6mm) .
F. Membrane Tester
Tester is easy to use for quick visual detection of possible flaws in membrane.
 G. Two-Part Vacuum Split Former
For use with non-cohesive soils and disturbed samples. Made from non-ferrous metal. Larger sizes require use of supporting jacks.
H. Two-Part Split Miter Box
For use with undisturbed samples and for sample trimming of cohesive soils. Made from non-ferrous metal.
I. Filter Paper
Used to prevent soil from penetrating into porous stones or into panel. 100/pkg.
J. Sample Trimmer with Knife
Used to trim sample ends, or cut sample to a specific length.
K. Base Disk
Acrylic disk used in UU trianaxial test.
L. Filter Paper Strips
Wrapped around sample to accelerate saturation in triaxial testing. 50pkg.
M. High Vacuum Grease
Effective means of sealing latex membranes to sides of the top cap and base pedestal. Especially useful during sample preparation.
