08.67 Compression Test Apparatus

Soil & CropsLaboratory Soil Physical Research

The compression test apparatus (art. no. 08.67) measures the impact of vertical stress on an undisturbed soil sample. During the measurement soil water matrix, compression stress and vertical displacement are simultaneously measured. 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.
