Soil Unconfined Compression Apparatus

This fully automated Unconfined Compression Apparatus is a testing instrument utilized for precise determination of the unconfined compressive strength of cohesive soils in intact, remolded, or reconstituted states within laboratory environments. ġt facilitates accurate and regulated application of axial load onto a soil sample, excluding the confining pressure commonly administered in alternative compression tests.

This testing device is consisting basically of bench top 2 column Electromechanical universal load frame incorporates an extensive range of features making them ideal for performing either complex or ordinary soil testing applications and are characterized by their robust, functional design.

The test devices are suitable for unconfined compression test and also can be upgraded for standard triaxial tests, isotropic or anisotropic consolidation. These configurations are ideal for educational, research and commercial purpose.
