Table Top Electromechanical Consolidation Apparatus

This electromechanical, microprocessor-controlled apparatus for one-dimensional consolidation tests enables fully automatic performance of incremental and optionally continuous load tests. The loading range of this machine is up to 10 kN with accuracy higher than pneumatic systems specially at low loads.

In regard to our complete range of standard and advanced consolidation cells with fixed or floating ring various sample dimensions can be tested. In addition automatic examination of pore pressure and permeability is executable.

A direct operation and calibration of the device is possible by control unit with keypad and LC-display.
