Consolidation Apparatus

Model: ASI-836

As Per IS : 2720 (Part-XV), BS 1377. ASDTM D-2435

Consolidation test is unidimensional test considered extremely important in soil mechanics.

Sample taken from adjacent areas of a single site show different settlement even when tested using same techniques.

Soil of similar strength may show varying consolidation.

Samples are very carefully prepared and vertical settlement of the specimen in saturated or drained conditions carefully recorded when known load is applied.

Specifications:

The standard outfit comprises of the following items.

Loading unit, maximum capacity 20 kg/cm sq. having a loading yoke connected to a lever arm with a counter balancing adjustment and having a lever ration of 1:1, the whole assembly being mounted on a sturdy steel frame stand.

The loading unit is so designed that it can be used for consolidation cells of different diameters as well as different dia floating ring type consolidation cells.

Fixed ring type consolidometer (Odeometer) cell assembly for testing 60mm dia. x 20mm thick specimen comprising:

Fixed ring for specimens 60mm x dia. 20mm. thick with guide ring.

Top and Bottom Porous stones for 60mm dia. specimens.

Perforated Pressure pad, Channelled base with water inlet and Gasket.

Flanged Water Jacket, water reservoir with plastic tube and pinch cock.

Set of weights to give a pressure of 10kg/cm.sq. on 60mm dia. specimen, comprising: 7nos. 0.05 kg/sq.cm., 5Nos. 0.1 kg/sq.cm., 6Nos. 0.2kg/sq.cm. and 5 Nos. 1.0kg/sq.cm. Supplied complete as above but without dial gauge.

Accessories:

Dial Gauge 0.002mm x 10mm. Extension piece, 40 mm long.

Test forms pad of 50 for Consolidation Test Plot” Test forms pad of 50 for one Dimensional Consolidation.

Optical Extras:

Varying head stand pipe, 50cms. Long with mm. scale.

Fixed ring type of consolidometer (Odeometer) cell assembly for 50mm dia. x 20 mm thick specimens complete with fixed ring guide ring, pair or porous stones, perforated pressure pad, channeled base, gasket and flanged water jacket.

Set of weights to give a pressure of 10kg/sq.cm., on 50 cm. dia specimens.

Fixed ring type of consolidometer (Odeometer) cell assembly for 70mm dia. x 20 mm thick specimens complete with accessories as above.

Set of weights to give a pressure of 10kg/sq.cm on 70mm. dia. specimen.

Fixed ring type of consolidometer (Odeometer) cell assembly for 100 mm dia. x 25 mm thick specimens complete with accessories as above.

Set of weights to give a pressure of 10kg/sq.cm.on 100 mm dia. specimens.
