The TRILAB apparatus is designed for the study of stress-strain behavior and the compressibilities of bulk and pore volumes under in-situ stress and temperature conditions. Governed by a computerized control interface, the system features a balanced deviatoric triaxial cell, which is instrumented with integrated in-vessel strain gauges, a thermal regulation system, an internal load cell, and a lifting device. To induce and regulate axial, pore, and confining pressures, the system is equipped with three high-pressure syringe pumps. The apparatus is modularly designed to accommodate a range of maximum cell pressures and test specimen geometries.
