Suitable for Room Temperature Applications Celsius (oC)
Operate Method
Gravimetric Method: The mass of the bottle is recorded empty, filled with water, and filled with the test substance; the density is calculated based on these mass differences
Operate Method : Controlled Drop: Soil is grooved and the motor is turned on to drop the cup at a fixed rate until the groove closes over the specified distance (12.5mm)
Temperature Range : Ambient laboratory conditions Celsius (oC)
Operate Method : Controlled Shearing: A constant normal load is applied, and the shear box is displaced horizontally at a fixed rate until the sample fails; shear force and displacement are recorded
Operate Method : Triaxial Compression: A cylindrical specimen is encased in a rubber membrane, placed in the cell, subjected to an allaround confining pressure, and then loaded axially until failure
Operate Method : Displacement: Water flows in/out of the unit in response to volume change in the soil; the movement of the piston is measured by the gauge and converted to volume change
Temperature Range : Room Temperature to 50 C Celsius (oC)
