Constant Rate Of Strain Cell CRS

Constant Rate Of Strain Cell CRS

Description of Constant Rate Of Strain Cell CRS

This cell is used to measure the magnitude and rate‐of‐consolidation of saturated cohesive soils using continuous controlled‐strain axial compression. The specimen is restrained laterally and drained axially to one surface. The axial force and base excess pressure are measured during the deformation process. Controlled strain compression is typically referred to constant rate‐of‐strain (CRS) testing.

Features of Constant Rate Of Strain Cell CRS

• Continuous monitoring of test parameters (axial load, pore pressure, axial compression) and detailed plotting of the consolidation curve
• Max working pressure 3500 kPa
• Relatively short time to perform consolidation test
• Particularly suitable for cohesive saturated soils
• Using with standard system with manual control or using dedicated activation code with automatic control and data acquisition.
