PLSx - Consolidation Machine
Unidimensional compression tests acc. DIN EN ISO 17892-5 (formerly DIN 18135)
The Oedometer PLSx is a compact laboratory device for unidimensional compression testing and swelling tests according DIN 18135. It can be easily installed on a bench.
The automatic consolidation machine PLSx can be delivered in three versions: as PLS5 with a maximum load up to 5 kN, as PLS10 with 10 kN in maximum and as PLS16 with a maximum load up to 16 kN. The customer can choose this to provide the optimal measuring range. With a standard consolidation cell with 40cm² sample area (Ø 71,4 mm) the device generates an normal stress up to 1250 kN/m² (PLS5), 2500 kN/m² (PLS 10) and 4000 kN/m² with the PLS16.
Characteristics:
- high-precision settlement measuring with digital dial gauge (resolution 1µm)
- automatic detection of the sample contact
- settlement measurements from sample contact or beginning from start (for detection of the initial settlement)
- manual adjustment of the thrust plate
serial interface for PC-controlled testing with data logging; cyclic measurement data logging, displaying and transfering to Microsoft EXCEL for advanced evaluation purposes
Accessories:
- consolidation cell
- digital dial indicator (gauge) for settlement measurement
- laboratory compressor
- compressed air regulator with filter
