MOTORISZD UNCONFINED COMPRESSION TESTER PROVING RING TYPE:
AS PER IS: 2720 (Part X), ASTM T - 208.
Introduction:
-
Many a times it is essential to know unconfined compressive strength of soils saturated or nearly saturated.
-
These results give an idea of the bearing capacities. Unconfined samples are uni-directionally loaded gradually till failure in this test.
-
This is an Electrically operated (Motorized) instrument for determining the unconfined compression strength of soil specimens of diameter ranging from 38 mm to 100 mm.
-
Load on the sample is applied gradually by an Electrically operated load frame and loads are measured on a sensitive proving ring attached to the load frame.
-
In this choice of three constant rates of stain.
General Description and Specifications: Is consists of:
-
Screw operated load frame, bench type, capacity 5000 kgf (50KN) with a gear box and motor drive giving 1.25, 1.5, 2.5 mm/min. rates of strain, a pair of cone seating, adaptor for proving ring and stain dial gauge bracket.
-
Supplied with one pair of male/ female coning tools for 38 mm dia samples but without proving ring and dial gauge.
-
Suitable for operation on 230 volts, single phase A.C. Supply.
Accessories: Coning tools in pairs (male & female) for samples having diameter 38 mm, 50 mm, 75 mm & 100 mm
OPTIONAL:
-
Motorized unconfined compression tester proving ring type: same as above but having only one rate of strain 1.25 mm/min.
-
Motorized unconfined compression tester proving ring type: this is similar to above but with the following rates of strains: 1.5 mm/min, 2.0 mm/min and 3.0 mm/min
