Consolidation
The Consolidation test is used to determine the consolidation characteristics of soils of low permeability. The S5000 Front Loading Oedometer is rigidly constructed to ensure minimum frame distortion. The frame is designed to load the specimen through a lever arm assembly and one of three alternative beam ratios as 9:1, 10:1 and 11:1. The beam is fitted with a counter balance weight and beam support jack. The cell platform will accept the complete range consolidation cells and is fitted with a central spigot to ensure accurate centering of the cell under the loading.
The fixed ring consolidation cells are manufactured from corrosion-resistant materials and conform to the requirements of the relevant standards. An integral water reservoir is incorporated in the cell which allows the specimen to be inundated when required. All cells are supplied complete with upper and lower porous disc, pressure pad and cutting (specimen) ring.
Consolidation cell, dial gauge or displacement transducer and data logger, bench, weights, apparatuses for prepare Consolidation samples and calibration disc should be ordered separately.
