Front Loading Oedometer

Rigidly manufactured from aluminium alloy casting to provide a high degree of accuracy with any frame distortion under load. The load bridge group is supported in high accuracy self-aligning seat balls.

The beam provides three loading ratios: 9:1, 10:1, and 11:1. The beam assembly is fitted with an adjustable counterbalance weight.
Maximum load: 170 kg of slotted weights, corresponding to 1870 kg using the beam ratio 11:1.

The oedometer accepts cells up to 100 cm².
Supplied complete with rod holding the weights and coupling block holding the dial gauge or transducer.
Supplied without: consolidation cell, weights, dial gauge (or transducer), and holding bench which have to be ordered separately.

Weight: 25 kg approx.
