- Description
Motorised compression frame with proving ring or load cell to determine the unconfined compressive strength of cohesive soil cylinders. Used in highway, earthwork and soil investigation laboratories.
Specification
This frame compresses a 38 mm or 50 mm soil cylinder at a constant strain rate until failure and records load against deformation. It provides quick undrained shear strength values for clays and stabilised soils. The digital version removes manual dial reading errors.
Features
- Strain-controlled loading at 1.25 mm/min fixed speed
- Digital load indicator with peak hold
- Lower platen with quick-release specimen seat
- Heavy fabricated frame with reversing switch
- Compatible with 38 mm and 50 mm dia specimens
