Soil Testing Machines

Our Soil Testing Machines will never let you down in terms of quality, durability and performance. Our range includes: Constant Pressure System, Compaction Test Apparatus Cone Penetrometer Method, Consolidation Apparatus and other durable machines.


Constant Pressure System
Constant Pressure System is available in two types. It is used for maintaining the pressure in triaxial cell at a constant value by compensating volume change in the cell. This system makes the full utilisation of other system in geotechnical laboratory.

Technical Specifications :
Cat. No. Type Capacity
ISIC- 4055 Air/Water Type 7kg/cm2
ISIC- 4056 Oil/Water Type 20kg/cm2






Compaction Test Apparatus
The ratio between soil moisture content and dry density is very useful to decide the quality and construction specifications of compacted material. This method is useful in construction of bridges, railways, highways and runways etc. It helps to confirm the strength and properties of soil.

Technical Specifications :
Cat.No. Specification
ISIC- 4057 2.6kg x 300mm rammer fall
ISIC- 4058 4.89kg x 450mm rammer fall





Cone Penetrometer Method
It is more advance meter for liquid limit test. The moisture content at a given depth of penetration of the cone is taken as liquid limit, it is not dependent on test apparatus and operator.

Technical Specifications :
Cat. No. ISIC- 4059










Consolidation Apparatus
Consolidation is meant for the crack and distress of building due to water expulsion. This phenomenan is time dependent. The test determines the clay structure. It is available for different sizes of specimens.

Technical Specifications :
Cat. No. ISIC- 4060











De-Aired Water Apparatus
Apparatus is required to produce de aired water for soil testing apparatus so that testing time can be reduced for consolidated soil samples. It is important that only de aired water should be used for Pore Pressure Measurement System.

Technical Specifications :
Cat. No. ISIC- 4061










Direct Shear Apparatus
Direct Shear Apparatus is meant to measure the shear resistance of soil speciman. It is the measure of stress that any soil sample can hold with respect of load.

Technical Specifications :
Cat. No. Capacity Specimen Size Type
ISIC- 4062 2kN Single Speed 60 x 60 x 25mm Manual
ISIC- 4063 30kN 30 x 30 x 15mm Motorised
ISIC- 4064 50kN 30 x 30 x 15mm Motorised




Dynamic Cone Penetration Test Apparatus
Test is performed to determine the relative strength or density or both of soil strata. It is recommeneded that if test is to be performed for deeper soil the cone should not be threaded because it becomes difficult to pull it back. Generally it is used upto the depth of 15m.

Technical Specifications :
Cat. No. Cone Size
ISIC- 4065 50mm dia








C.B.R. Apparatus
This test is used in selection of materials and control of subgrades. It keeps a check on bearing value of highway sub-bases and subgrades of mixtures.

Technical Specifications :
Cat. No. Type & Capacity
ISIC- 4066 Manual (50kN)
ISIC- 4067 Motorised
ISIC- 4068 Mould Gun Metel
ISIC- 4069 Mould M.S.






Liquid Limit Device
It is a mechanical method for measuring shear resistance by means of liquid limit test, when soil is mixed with water. This test makes engineer to understand the properties of soil.

Technical Specifications :
Cat. No. Accessories
ISIC- 4070 Casagranade groovingtool,gauge block
ISIC- 4071 Casagranade groovingtool,gauge block with counter
ISIC- 4072 Motorised,Casagranade grooving tool,gauge block with counter







Load Frames
Load Frames are extensively used for application of compression and penetration loads required for various tests. Load Frames are available in different frame structures, mode of operation, loading capacities.

Technical Specifications :
Cat. No. Capacity Operation Mode Speed
ISIC- 4073 50kN Electrical Single
ISIC- 4074 50kN Electrical Three
ISIC- 4075 50kN Electrical Six
ISIC- 4076 50kN Electrical Thirty
ISIC- 4077 200kN Electrical Twelve
ISIC- 4078 500kN Electrical Twelve




Proctor Penetrometer, Spring Type
It is used to check the compaction control in the field by determining the moisture content and maximum dry density.

Technical Specifications :
Cat. No. Specification
ISIC- 4079 0 -40kg/cm2








Pycnometer
It is a jar used to check the specific gravity of sand, soil or powdery material having granules smaller than 10mm. "specific Gravity is the ratio of the weight in air of a given volume of a material at a standard temperature to the weight in air of an equal volume of distilled water at the same stated temperature."

Technical Specifications :
Cat. No. Capacity
ISIC- 4080 1kg (Set of 6)
ISIC- 4081 0.5kg (Set of 6)





Sample Divider
Used for collection of different samples of aggregates, sand and fillers.
