About Unconfined Compression Tester (Motorised)

We are the manufacturer of Unconfined Compression Tester (Motorised). This is a motorized instrument for determining the unconfined compression strength of soil specimens. Load on the sample is applied gradually by a load frame and loads are measured on a sensitive proving ring attached to the load frame.

Features:

Comprises a screw operated load frame, with a gear box and motor drive.
Rates of strain, a pair of cone seating, adaptor for proving ring, and stain dial gauge bracket.
Supplied with one pair of male/female coning tools for38mm dia samples but without ring and dial gauge.

FAQs of Unconfined Compression Tester (Motorised):

Q: How does the Unconfined Compression Tester operate during soil strength testing?

A: The tester uses a motorised single-speed mechanism to apply continuous compressive load to a soil specimen placed between platens. The deformation is measured by a dial gauge as the sample is compressed, allowing precise determination of unconfined compressive strength.

Q: What are the sample size capacities and loading range of this machine?

A: It accommodates samples with diameters of 38 mm or 50 mm and lengths up to 100 mm. The tester can apply loads up to 3 kN (3000 kgf), with a loading unit travel of up to 50 mm.

Q: When should this instrument be used in laboratory settings?

A: This tester is suitable whenever accurate measurement of unconfined compressive strength of cohesive soils is required, as part of geotechnical investigation, quality control, or research procedures.

Q: Where can the Unconfined Compression Tester be installed?

A: Its compact, tabletop design makes it suitable for standard laboratory environments, and it operates efficiently between 5C to 45C and up to 85% relative humidity, provided the area is non-condensing.

Q: What safety features are included in this compression tester?

A: For user safety and equipment protection, the tester is equipped with overload protection and a limit switch, which prevent excessive loading and potential damage to both specimen and machine.

Q: How is the deformation and compressive strength measured and displayed?

A: Deformation during compression is measured by a dial gauge with 0.01 mm least count, while the load is read via a proving ring or dial mechanism, ensuring precise, real-time monitoring during tests.

Q: What are the compliance standards for this equipment?

A: The tester complies with IS:2720 (Part 10) and relevant ASTM standards, ensuring it meets both national and international requirements for unconfined compressive strength testing of soils.
