Pneumatic Loaded Consolidation Test System

Karol-Warner CONBEL? Pneumatic Consolidation Systems are accurate and reliable loading mechanisms for soils consolidation testing. Available in three different load capacities, all rapidly apply and maintain precision loads pneumatically and have a small footprint to save valuable bench space. The controller allows application of low or high loads.

These devices display applied loads through digital displays and use precision pressure regulators and pressure transducers with a linearity of ±0.1%. The 1in (25.4mm) thick aluminum platforms have adjustable centering pads and accept any consolidation ring up to 7.25in (184mm) diameter. Stainless steel vertical rods support the cross-head and dial gauge. One HMA-81 Loading Ball is included with each Load Frame. Sturdy, enamel-coated steel cabinets protect the unit.

Fixed or floating ring consolidation cells must be ordered separately for each consolidation frame.
