The entire system consists of a consolidation instrument, an air pressure controller, a multi-channel communication converter, and a data acquisition system.

Product Description

Core Components
Core components loading system
⚙️ Loading system: Adopting electric or hydraulic servo control to achieve precise stress or strain control loading. The load range usually covers 1 kPa~5 MPa (adjustable) to meet the requirements of different soil samples.
📦 Consolidation container: Fix the soil sample with a standard ring knife (diameter 61.8 mm or 50 mm, height 20 mm), matched with permeable stones and filter paper. Some models support parallel testing with multiple units.
📡 Sensor system: Displacement sensor (High precision LVDT) and pressure sensor for real-time feedback. Optional pore water pressure sensor for saturated soil samples.
💻 Data acquisition: Integrated industrial computer or embedded system, controlling the process through software with USB/network data transfer.
Main Functions
📊 Consolidation test: Determine deformation characteristics, compression coefficient, modulus, and pre-consolidation pressure through step-by-step loading.
🤖 Automated operation: Fully automated loading, collection, monitoring, and analysis to minimize human error.
Long-term monitoring: Supports secondary consolidation tests to simulate long-term settlement under actual loads.

The soil Consolidometer performs normal slow and rapid consolidation tests to determine pre-consolidation pressure and coefficients. It includes specialized functions for loess, such as determining collapsibility coefficients and starting pressure. Rebound modulus and pressure periods can be programmed with voice prompts for operations like water injection.

Deformation Sensor Options:
1. Hydraulic sensor: 0-12.7mm (accuracy 0.005mm)
2. National standard sensor: 0-12.7mm (accuracy 0.01mm)

System Capability: The Oedometer system features stable air pressure control, low noise, and easy software installation. One computer can collect data from up to 32 soil samples simultaneously.
