Fully Automatic Consolidation Test Apparatus Designed for Precision Soil Consolidation Testing

The Fully Automatic Consolidation Test Apparatus is specifically designed to evaluate the compressibility and consolidation behavior of soils under controlled load increments. By automating the entire load application process, the device maintains perfectly regulated stress conditions, providing flawless reproducibility and long-term stability.

Its fully automatic loading mechanism replaces traditional manual lever-arm systems, ensuring that each load increment is applied smoothly, accurately, and consistently—critical for determining key geotechnical parameters such as:

• Coefficient of consolidation (Cv)

• Compression index (Cc)

• Recompression index (Cr)

• Preconsolidation pressure (σp)

• Settlement prediction for foundations, embankments, and earth structures

By minimizing human involvement, the Fully Automatic Consolidation Test Apparatus dramatically enhances data reliability, making it ideal for laboratories seeking superior testing efficiency.
