08.67 Compression Test Apparatus
The compression test apparatus (art. no. 08.67) measures the impact of vertical stress on an undisturbed soil sample.
The apparatus is operating computer-controlled using multifunctional software for executing measurement protocols and both numerical and graphical visualised data presentation. The samples are taken in a soil sample ring Ø 103 x 100 mm, height 30 mm, contents 235 cc.
