Testlab
Computerised Consolidation workbench
Adapted to consolidate specimens contained in oedometric cells. The workbench is formed of a steel structure with centring plates for the oedometric cells. A lever system is used to apply loads by placement of weights. The equipment can be used to perform 3 simultaneous tests. Supplied with three LVDTs and three levers with ratio of 10:1 and loads of up to 550 Kg. The weights, water containers and cells must be ordered separately.
Dimensions: 1800 x 500 x 1200 mm
Weight: 100 Kg approx.
Accessories:
S0138 Water container made of plexiglass and aluminium. Allows the shear box to be prepared during the consolidation test while keeping the samples under water.
S0126 Set of weights, 50 Kg.

Software for oedometric tests
This computer application is part of the soil testing package that includes the Oedometer, Direct shear, Simple compression, CBR tests and Triaxial test software.
The software is always divided into two applications.
DATA COLLECTION/DATA ANALYSIS.
The DATA COLLECTION application is common to all tests. This application includes highly intuitive menus that allow the user to choose predefi ned tests and to create new tests with new control parameters that are particularly useful for research centres. The sensors are also managed with this application, which enables them to be registered, deregistered, calibrated, etc.
The software can be used to control a large number of tests simultaneously and allow them to be viewed in real time. It also has data backup capability in the event of power outage.
The DATA ANALYSIS application is used to study the results of oedometric tests and includes the following tests:
Standard oedometer (EDO)
Free swelling (HIL)
Swelling pressure (PHI)
