Unconfined Compression Apparatus is a testing device used to accurately determine the unconfined compressive strength of soil specimens. Its motorized operation allows for precise and controlled application of axial load to a soil sample without the confining pressure typically applied in other compression tests.

The key purpose of the Motorized Unconfined Compression Apparatus is to provide essential data on soil strength parameters, which are crucial for geotechnical design and analysis. The apparatus is designed with load sensors and displacement measuring devices to accurately record applied loads and soil deformation throughout the test.

Equipped with a motorized system that provides a controlled and consistent axial load application to soil specimens.
Designed to accommodate various sizes of soil specimens.
Modern apparatus systems come with data acquisition software for real-time data recording, analysis, and generation of stress-strain curves, providing detailed insights into soil behavior.
