WYKEHAM FARRANCE’s electro-mechanical TRITECH machines are the original high-performance load frames for triaxial tests. Introduced by the company over 50 years ago, they have undergone continuous development and are the ideal solution for advanced and research laboratories that want to perform high quality tests at high levels of productivity.
Based on heavy duty triaxial load frames, with advanced electronics and high quality components, these frames are the top of the range currently available for triaxial testing on soil. They can be used either as part of a computer-controlled automatic testing system or as high-performance stand-alone units under manual (or PC remote) control.
The load frames are built around a robust twin chromed-column structure, ensuring extremely high rigidity. The loading platen is made from stainless steel.
When the frame is used in PC control mode, all the main functions (speed fast/slow, direction up/down, stop) are managed by the PC software. In manual stand-alone mode, the user-friendly keyboard on the front panel is used to control all the frame’s functions, including a rapid approach facility that reduces test set-up time. For efficient use the last settings are automatically recalled after switch on and micro switches prevent over-travel problems. The panel and display are protected from water and dust by a waterproof membrane.
These frames are versatile, compact and easy to use and allow a variety of test procedures to be performed on samples with diameters from 38 up to 150 mm. They’ve been specifically designed for soil testing labs conducting UU (unconsolidated unconfined), CU (consolidated Undrained), CD (consolidated drained) and stress path triaxial tests but they can also be used, due to their variable speed range, to perform unconfined, CBR and Marshall tests.

WYKEHAM FARRANCE’s electro-mechanical TRIAX – triaxial machine – has been designed specifically for triaxial applications and is ideal for commercial laboratories that need a versatile machine capable of performing a wide range of tests.
The load frame is built around a robust twin column structure, ensuring extremely high rigidity up to 50 kN.
When the frame is used in PC control mode, all the main functions (speed fast/slow, direction up/down, stop). All functions can also be remotely managed by PC via a set of commands in ASCII format using RS 232 port.
In manual mode, the user-friendly keyboard on the front panel is used to control all the frame’s functions, including a rapid approach facility that reduces test set-up time. For efficient use the last settings are automatically recalled after switch on. The frame is equipped with micro switches that prevent over-travel problems.

The load frames are built around a robust twin chromed-column structure, ensuring extremely high rigidity. The loading platen is made from stainless steel.
Four models are available depending on the max capacity and if equipped or not with a built-in data acquisition.
The models are fitted with 4 built-in channels and data acquisition, to be used either in stand-alone mode or connected to a PC.
TRITECH 4C are the ideal solution for advanced and research laboratories who require high quality and productivity testing. This model is a stand alone machine that can perform compression/extension triaxial tests, unconfined, CBR, Marshall and general compression tests.
These load frames are equipped with a wide user friendly touch screen display, side mounted and very ergonomic allowing local control of the main functions and data acquisition.
In each model the panel and display are protected from water and dust.
The touch screen display is extremely versatile to start, pause and stop the test, to set up data recording mode, to show live readings of the transducers in real time and to perform calibrations. In addition a LAN connection and a dedicated software (included with the machine) allows remote control from the PC. In remote control mode the software allows the user to control the main functions via PC as well as to calibrate the channels with linear, polynomial and multi-coefficient calibration mode, and to display the readings.
