Unconfined Compression Tester

STANDARDS: ASTM D2166 | AASHTO T208

This hand-operated tester, utilized both on site and in laboratory, applies the load by a handwheel and strength is read on a proving ring 200 kg. capacity.

Unconfined Compression Tester is a laboratory testing instrument designed to determine the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of cohesive soil specimens without applying lateral confinement. The test is commonly used to evaluate the strength and stress-strain characteristics of cohesive soils.

The equipment is suitable for soil mechanics, geotechnical engineering, civil engineering and construction material testing laboratories, providing controlled loading and reliable measurement of compressive strength.

Key Features:

• Designed for unconfined compression testing of soil
• Suitable for cohesive soil specimens
• Controlled and uniform loading
