CRS.OCX40.20 - CRS Cell
Constant Rate of Strain (CRS) Cell
The CRS cell is used to determine the consolidation behavior when lateral expansion is prevented with the help of a constant vertical deformation speed.
During the test, the pore water of the sample can drain vertically, whereby the axial load (on the top of the sample) and the pore water pressure (on the bottom of the sample / in the base) are measured at the same time. From the course of the measured vertical stress, the excess pore water pressure and the vertical deformation, the effective stress can be calculated and the consolidation behavior can be determined. With the CRS cell, experiments can be done out under various pressure conditions up to a cell pressure of 5 bar.
In addition to the CRS cell, a load frame with a constant speed rate and the appropriate software for data acquisition and evaluation are required.
Delivery without sensors, must be ordered separately
