Standards: ASTM D2435, D3877, D4546, BS 1377:5, AASHTO T216, XP P94 090-1, P94-091, UNE 103-405, 103-602
The one-dimensional consolidation test of a soil sample enables to ascertain the settlement characteristic over a given period of time.
The soil specimen under test is axially loaded and laterally contained.
Loads are applied with progressive increases and the settlement values are read on a dial gauge or on a digital display (through a displacement transducer).
Rigidly manufactured from aluminium alloy casting to provide a high degree of accuracy with any frame distorsion under load.
The load bridge group is supported in high accuracy self-aligning seat balls.
The beam provides three loading ratio: 9:1 10:1 11:1 and the beam assembly is fitted with an adjustable counterbalance weight.
Maximun load: 170 kg of slotted weights, corresponding to 1870 kg using the beam ratio 11:1
The oedometer accepts cells up to 100 cm²
Supplied complete with rod holding the weights and coupling block holding the dial gauge or transducer.
Supplied without: consolidation cell, weights, dial gauge (or transducer), holding bench which have to be ordered separately.
Weight: 25 kg approx.
