Fully Automatic Electromechanical Consolidation Apparatus

This high-precision electro-mechanical, microprocessor-controlled machine is designed for one-dimensional consolidation tests. It enables menu- driven, fully automatic, incremental and optionally continuous load tests.

Its design offers new possibilities to determine the Young’s modulus. Here, high-precision, user-friendly measurement and control components coincide with a solid, functional construction.

With regard to our complete range of standard and advanced consolidation cells with fixed or floating rings, various sample dimensions can be tested. The automatic examination of pore pressure and permeability is also possible.

The direct operation and calibration of this device is possible through a control unit with a keypad and LC-display.
