Recommended
Fluids
Refined mineral oil (i.e., PG1¨, or Multitherm¨) or
Silicone oil for triaxial testing to +200
°C/400 °F
Maximum Fluid
Temperature
75 °C (165 °F)
Note Many triaxial cells are capable of heating
confining fluid to a temperature exceeding
this value. Therefore, it is imperative that the
fluid be allowed to cool to 75
°C/165 °F, o r
less, before recirculating it into the Pressure
Intensifier.
Air Driven Pump
Compressed Air
Requirement
0.6 MPa (90 psi), clean and dry
