Product Group: AUTO Soils Consolidator, AUTO Soils Consolidator
Designed and engineered for geotechnical laboratories to deliver new levels of efficiency in testing procedures.
The one-dimensional consolidation test is the most common, and sometimes referred to as the oedometer or incremental loading oedometer test. Radially constrained samples are loaded in a sequence starting with a stress close to the over burden pressure of the sample. The loading is then doubled for each stage; typically 4 or 5 times, with a final unloading sequence.
Now supplied complete with DS8.0 One-Dimensional Consolidation Software
Features:
- Available in one universal model 90-240 V AC, 50-60 Hz, 1 ph
- 7” waterproof, colour, graphical touchscreen
- Multi language
- No compressor – stepper motor improves accuracy across entire 15 kN load range
- Variable speed to suit sample type
- Can change target loads during a test
- Flexible reports
- Compatible with latest DS8 software
Customer benefits:
- Fully automatic – reduces testing time
- Compact footprint – saves laboratory space
- Save configurations for easy set-up of multiple cells and repeat tests
- Control up to 16 AUTO Soils Consolidator machines from one PC – improves laboratory efficiency
- Ability to include manual consolidation frames – avoids redundancy
- Wide range of sample cells
Please note: S type load cell and a linear variable displacement transducer (LVDT) must be ordered seperately
