Automatic Soil Consolidation Testing Machine
Utest Automatic Soil Consolidation Testing Machine, UTS-0305.SMPR is used for determination of one-dimensional consolidation properties of soils using incremental loading and measurement of swelling potential of soils. Test machine comprises a rigid frame, electromechanical motor, optimized PID closed loop control system, UTouch high resolution touchscreen and a high precision load cell.
Advanced closed loop control system specially designed for UTS-0305.SMPR assures accurate loading and precise load control over a wide range of load increments. Machine can apply pre-defined loads for pre-defined intervals using UTouch control panel and perform one-dimensional consolidation tests in accordance with ASTM D 2435 Test Method A. Machine can display both axial strain vs log time and axial strain vs square root of time graphs real time on the UTouch touchscreen.
Utest Automatic Soil Consolidation Testing Machine is supplied with Usoft-0305, Utest Software for Soil Consolidation Tests. Using USOFT-0305 users can perform one-dimensional consolidation testing in accordance with ASTM D2435 Method B.The software can automatically calculate end of primary consolidation (d100) and coefficient of consolidation (cv) and perform the test automatically. Using this method, the machine can perform consolidation tests quicker and in a more reliable way by eliminating the need for manual intervention thus reducing the risk of human error.
