Oedometers, Front Loading
Categories:
Soil Mechanics Testing Equipment
Technical Specifications
The oedometers fit with linear potentiometric transducers, can be connected to Data acquisition unit. The consolidation test can also be automatically performed with the Automatic Computerized oedometer. The oedometer consists of a rigid aluminium alloy frame to avoid any distortion under load. The lever arm assembly is supported in precision self-aligning bearings and has three hanger positions for 9:1, 10:1 and 11:1 ratio.
This test determines the rate and magnitude of consolidation of a soil specimen restrained laterally and subjected to a number of successive increments of vertical loads.
Analog configuration is composed by:
Oedometer
Bench
Consolidation cells
Dial gauge
