Consolidation Apparatus (Front Loading Type)

Short info :

A "Consolidation Apparatus (Front Loading Type)" is a soil testing device, also known as an oedometer, used to determine the one-dimensional consolidation characteristics of soil samples, particularly those with low permeability, by measuring the reduction in volume under sustained axial loading.

MAKE: EPIC      |       MODEL: ETIC-S021

Description:

  • Rigidly manufactured from aluminium alloy casting to provide a high degree of accuracy with any frame distortion 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.
  • Maximum load: 150 kg of slotted weights. The odeometer accepts cells up to 100 cm. sq. 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.
