Consolidation Testing System
Product Code : JA-ST-9791
The Consolidation Testing System (SKU JA-ST-9791) is an automatic oedometer that loads a soil specimen with a stepper-motor drive instead of hanging weights and needs no compressed air. It is a self-contained unit controlled from its own keypad or from a PC over USB, with a standard or long-stroke frame, and it is supplied by JaincoLab for geotechnical laboratories running one-dimensional consolidation tests.
Specifications
The system data cover its drive, control and frame options:
| Product | Consolidation Testing System |
| SKU | JA-ST-9791 |
| Test | One-dimensional consolidation (oedometer) test |
| Drive | Self-contained, stepper motor driven unit |
| Loading | No compressed air or manually placed weights required |
| Control | Smart Keypad (manual) or PC via USB interface |
| Frame options | Standard frame or long-stroke frame |
| Upgrades | Constant rate of strain (CRS) and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) testing |
Uses of the automatic oedometer
Replacing hanging weights with a motor drive makes the system suited to:
- Oedometer tests for settlement analysis of foundations on clay
- Constant rate of strain consolidation tests, after the upgrade
- Unconfined compressive strength tests on the same frame, after the upgrade
- Teaching laboratories that want consolidation data taken to a PC
Scope of supply and ordering
Specify the standard or long-stroke frame and whether the CRS and UCS upgrades are wanted; the listing covers the automatic oedometer unit. Quantities, packing and delivery lead time are stated on each quotation.
Frequently asked questions
Does the system need compressed air or dead weights?
No. It is a self-contained, stepper motor driven unit, so neither compressed air nor manually placed weights are needed.
How is the system controlled?
It can be run manually from its Smart Keypad or from a PC through the USB interface.
Can the frame run other tests?
Both the standard and the long-stroke frame can be upgraded to perform constant rate of strain and unconfined compressive strength testing.
