Automatic Hoek Pressure Unit

The UTR-0450.PVPR Automatic Pressure Unit is used to apply lateral pressure in the Hoek Cell during the triaxial testing of rock specimens.

The power pack is equipped with a proportional valve to provide a sensitive control of the loading rate and to maintain a constant confining pressure. Pressure is controlled using PID closed loop electronics. The user can define the set lateral pressure and display the lateral pressure through the U-Touch PRO Control Unit.

The user will also require an automatic compression testing machine to apply the vertical load required for triaxial and uniaxial tests.

To see the details of Hoek Cells required for triaxial testing of rock specimens, please look at the page of Hoek Triaxial Cells.
