Submersible (internal) load cells have been designed to work inside the triaxial cells.

Submersible load cells have been designed to work inside the triaxial cells. They have a lower hysteresis and very good linearity tighter with a substantial overload safety feature.

Advantages:

  • Load reading remains unaffected throughout pressure range of use.
  • No need to correct for ram up thrust.
  • No need to correct for ram friction.

They are supplied complete with rams to suit Banded triaxial cells or standard triaxial cells.
Standard models of submersible load cells are also supplied complete with extension kit for small samples.
The submersible load cells versions for Dynamic testing are practically identical to the standard models, except for the connections to the system.

  • High accuracy.
  • No ram friction effect on measurement.
  • Low hysteresis.
  • Overload capacity: 200%
  • Rate output: 2mV/V
  • Excitation voltage: 10 V DC
  • Non linearity: ±0.05% full scale
  • Hysteresis: 0.05% full scale
  • Deflection at full load: 0.05 mm
  • Maximum side force without effect: 50% full scale
  • Compensated temperature range: 0 to 50°C
  • Diameter: 75 mm
  • Height (excluding ram): 50 mm
  • Weight (excluding ram and extension kit): 850 g
