ConMatic Consolidation Machine

Compact and easy-to-use, the HM-2432A.3F pneumatic consolidation load frame is used to estimate the rate and amount of settlement anticipated for a proposed structure. The unit applies loads instantly without impact for stress-controlled consolidation testing; and, maintains the load regardless of sample compression. Its small footprint saves valuable lab counter space while maintaining its versatility by supporting fixed ring, floating ring, or permeability cells.

• Highly-sensitive accuracy in lower load ranges
• Integral digital readout simplifies checking applied load and setup of predetermined load
• Adjustable upper cross beam
• Instantaneous loading without impact
• Flexible load choice
• Not sensitive to shock
• Choice of English or Metric models

Unit can be used with a standard mechanical dial gauge setup or, for data acquisition applications, it can be teamed with digital indicators or strain transducers (LSCT) coupled to one of the Humboldt miniLoggers.
