Test Cell Kits are available for specific sample sizes and include Anodized Aluminum Cap and Pedestal, Two Aluminum Oxide Corundum Porous Stones, Four Sealing O-Rings, and two 0.012in Latex Membranes. All Stainless Steel Cap and Pedestal Test Kits are available by adding SS suffix. Kits with Acrylic Cap and Pedestal are available by adding "AC" suffix.
Aluminum Oxide and Bronze Porous Stones are used in triaxial, permeability, and a variety of other soil tests to support specimen ends while allowing free drainage of soil. Aluminum Oxide Porous Stones are most commonly used and are typically in stock in a variety of sizes. Sintered Bronze Porous Stones are more durable than Aluminum Oxide and are available in select sizes. See our complete selection of Porous Stones in a wide variety of sizes. Inquire for specialty Porous Stones.
Latex Membranes are made from pure latex rubber and are the standard material in soil testing labs around the country. They are made under tightly controlled, proprietary manufacturing processes to maintain the highest quality membranes, free from defects. Membranes are in stock in the standard sizes shown here. They are packaged in amber colored bags to inhibit ultraviolet light damage during storage. Supplied in packages of 12. Our complete selection of Latex and Neoflex Membranes in a variety of sizes is listed separately.
Membrane Testers check Latex Membranes for leaks. The Membrane Tester consists of an aluminum tube with a hose and hose clamp for connection to user's vacuum supply.
Membrane Stretchers consist of an aluminum tube with a port, tubing, and pinch valve for easy installation of the Latex Membrane over the soil specimen. For use with user's vacuum supply.
Sealing O-Rings seal the ends of the Latex Membrane to the cap and pedestal. Supplied 10 per pack.
O-Ring Placing Tool makes it an easy job to mount O-Rings around the Cap and Latex Membrane, minimizing disturbance to the drain lines and soil sample.
Anodized Aluminum Specimen Cap has two drain ports and includes two finger tight 1/8" tube fittings. Caps are grooved for secure fit of O-Rings. All Stainless Steel Caps are available by adding SS suffix. Acrylic Specimen Caps are available by adding "AC" suffix.
Anodized Aluminum Specimen Pedestal is grooved for O-Rings, has two drain ports, and is keyed to prevent pinching of tubing during set up. All Stainless Steel Specimen Pedestals are available by adding SS suffix. Acrylic Specimen Pedestals are available by adding "AC" suffix.
Two-Part Vacuum Split Molds are used to prepare compacted specimens of non-cohesive soil. Vacuum is applied to the mold with Latex Membrane inside and soil is compacted inside of the membrane.
Two-Part Compaction Molds are used to prepare cohesive soil specimens. Material is compacted in mold and on top of steel pedestal.
Two-Part Compaction Mold Assemblies include the Two-Part Compaction Mold, collar, and base.
Two-Part Miter Boxes are used for precise trimming to length of soil specimens and squaring the ends with a Wire Saw.
