Consolidation Test Apparatus

Consolidation Test Apparatus

•    The apparatus has been designed to reduce the testing time for triaxial tests, where only one compression machine is available.
•    With this equipment it is possible to perform the consolidation stage of three triaxial specimens at the same time for CU and CD tests in anisotropic conditions.
•    The apparatus consists of a steel bench complete with three load frames and centering platens, for all our triaxial cells for specimens 35 to 100 mm dia.
•    It can also be used for other make of triaxial cells, provided that they are equipped with a centering hole 13 mm dia. x 3 mm deep.
•    Weights can be placed on both the centre hanger and on the lever hanger.
•    The weights of the loading frames have been reduced to minimum so that a counterbalance of the frame is not required.
•    The apparatus has to be completed with the axial displacement gauges or transducers, Beam loading device(s) and Slotted weights.
•    Overall dimensions (lxdxh): 1300x800x970 mm
•    Weight approx.: 145 kg
•    Accessories : Dial Gauge 0.002 mm x 10 mm .
•    Extension piece: 40 mm long.
•    Test forms pad of 50 for “Censolidation Test Plot” Test forms pad of 50 for one Dimensional Consolidation.
