GDS HLF
 
What is it?
 
The GDS Hydraulic Axial/Radial Loading Frame (GDSHLF) can be synchronised with the cell pressure (radial stress) to give an advanced capability of dynamic stress paths. A number of optional advanced transducers can be added to the standard system to give measurement of local axial strains and mid-plane pore pressures.

What are its uses
 
The GDSHLF 10 Hz/20, 40, 60 or 100kN dynamic triaxial testing system consists of a dynamic load frame with 20, 40, 60 or 100kN load capacity and +/- 50 mm stroke capability. The load frame contains a dynamic cell pressure actuator built into the base. To give the very advanced capability of dynamic stress paths, the axial force/displacement can be synchronised with the cell pressure (radial stress). Also, the system is capable of both
dynamic tests and quasi-static (low speed/creep) tests. These outstanding features, coupled with GDSLAB control and data acquisition software, GDS digital pressure controllers, and the GDS data acquisition system, give you unlimited possibilities in conventional and advanced PC-controlled triaxial testing of soil and rock.
