Fully Automatic Consolidometer Load Frame with Data Logger

Multi-station oedometer load frame with electronic displacement sensors to measure compression and consolidation of clays under stepped loads. Used by geotechnical consultants and foundation labs for settlement prediction.

Specification

The consolidometer applies sequential loads to a 60 mm or 75 mm soil ring through a lever arm and records settlement against time automatically. It suits projects where the coefficient of consolidation and compression index feed directly into foundation settlement calculations. Each station works independently so several samples can be tested together.

Features

• Lever ratio 1:10 with counterbalanced loading arm
• Digital dial gauges or LVDT per station with logging software
• Floating-ring or fixed-ring cell options
• Corrosion-resistant stainless steel cell and porous discs
• Compact bench design with 3 or 4 stations
