Consolidation Apparatus
The Consolidation Apparatus consists of a fixed ring type of consolidometer cell for testing specimens of 60mm dia x 20mm thick, but a variety of specimen sizes from 50 to 100mm dia can also be tested. Additionally, the same loading unit can be used with optional floating ring consolidometer cells.
The consolidation is measured by conventional dial gages or digital gages and common configurations include a single and three-gang consolidometers, with a six-gang version available on special request.
