Consolidation Test Apparatus

Model No: CVELB-57

Description:

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.

Set of weights to give a pressure of 10 kg/cm. sq. on 60 mm dia specimen, comprising:
