Reliable Soil Consolidation TestingThe Consolidation Apparatus-Single Gang guarantees accurate assessment of soil compressibility for geotechnical investigations. Its sturdy loading yoke delivers stable force to the specimen, while integrated accessories such as specimen rings, dial gauge, and water reservoir simplify the preparation and testing process. The corrosion-resistant powder coating ensures long-term durability even in humid laboratory climates, and export-grade foam packaging protects the instrument during transport or storage.
Streamlined Manual OperationThis manual consolidation apparatus empowers users with precise control over loading increments. The easy-to-read analog dial gauge provides displacement readings with 0.01 mm resolution, enabling real-time monitoring and data collection during each test. Specimen placement is effortless thanks to standard fixed or floating rings, and its benchtop design makes it suitable for both laboratories and field applications.
Certified Performance for Geotechnical LabSupplied with a calibration certificate and meeting international standards, this equipment offers confidence in data reliability for professional soil analysis. The apparatus is compatible with standard 60 mm diameter specimens and accommodates soil samples with a height of 2025 mm. The equipments rapid response and manual measurement mode facilitate precise test cycles, delivering results with 1% accuracy across its 020 kg/cm range.
FAQs of Consolidation Apparatus-Single Gang:
Q: How do you operate the Consolidation Apparatus-Single Gang?
A: To operate, position the soil specimen in the ring, saturate using the supplied water reservoir, and apply incremental loads via the steel yoke and calibrated weights. Displacement is measured manually using the analog dial gauge, while the test speed is controlled by the user.
Q: What is included with the Consolidation Apparatus-Single Gang package?
A: The package includes a set of calibrated weights, stainless steel or acrylic water reservoir, dial gauge (with travel up to 25 mm), cutting ring, porous stones, specimen rings, base plate, and foam-fitted export packaging with a calibration certificate.
Q: When should the apparatus be recalibrated?
A: Calibration is recommended annually, or after extensive usage to maintain accuracy. Each unit is provided with a calibration certificate at delivery for traceability and compliance with testing standards.
Q: Where can spare parts for the apparatus be obtained?
A: Spare O-rings, gaskets, loading weights, and other components are available on request from the manufacturer, supplier, or authorized service providers listed in India.
Q: What types of soil specimens can be tested with this device?
A: The apparatus is compatible with standard 60 mm diameter samples ranging from 2025 mm in height, making it suitable for various cohesive and semi-cohesive soils encountered in geotechnical studies.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this consolidation apparatus in a laboratory setting?
A: It delivers reliable soil consolidation measurements, features a rigid and corrosion-resistant frame, provides instantaneous manual readings, and complies with international standards to support accurate geotechnical analysis.
Q: How does the apparatus ensure precise and repeatable load application during tests?
A: The direct lever loading system with counterbalanced weights delivers incremental loads stably and reproducibly, while the analog dial gauge facilitates precise monitoring of specimen deformation throughout the process.
