Description
Hoek cells are used to measure the strength of cylindrical rock specimens, which are subjected to triaxial compression. They are comprise a steel body and two steel end caps, which are screwed to the body of the cell when in use. The body has two, self-sealing couplings; one of them is for connecting to the hydraulic pressure system, the other is for de-airing the cell chamber and the attachment of a pressure measurement device. Four sizes are available.
