Unconsolidation Undrained (UU) Triaxial Soil Test Equipment

An Unconsolidated Undrained triaxial test (UU test) is a constant rate of strain shearing test performed without back pressure control on the sample (i.e. the back pressure valve is closed).  The test is generally quite fast as drainage is not required from the sample.  There is no requirement for the sample to be saturated or consolidated before the shearing stage. Please note: Some apparatus may require additional components or software modules to perform certain tests.

The following soil test equipment can perform the Unconsolidation Undrained (UU) Triaxial soil test:-
