Soil Cement Load Frames

Gilson Load Frames by Karol-Warner are adaptable for a wide range of laboratory soil tests such as Unconfined Compressive Strength, California Bearing Ratio (CBR), Soil Cement, and Triaxial testing. This series of load frames are designed to work with a variety of digital and analog sets and other ancillary products, ensuring each user can create a test system that meets specific testing needs. A simple change of components easily adapts the unit for different soil testing applications.

• Load Frame, 0.001—0.1in/min, 10,000lbfhas a platen advance that allows for faster set-up.
• Load Frame, 0.0001—0.3in/min, 10,000lbf with a micro-stepping drive controller that allows more precise control of loading rates.
• Load Frame, 0.00001—0.29999in/min, 10,000lbf features a precision strain rate allowing for testing of sensitive soils. The micro-stepping motor and drive controller precisely control load rates.
• Load Frame, 0.00001—0.29999in/min, 20,000lbf features an enhanced strain rate for sensitivity. The best choice when testing ASTM D4767 consolidated/undrained triaxial tests.
• Load Frame, 0.02-2.0in/min, 10,000lbf allows use for a wider range of test methods. Digital and analog components and sets that attach to the Load Frame are available for Unconfined Compression, CBR, Soil Cement, and Triaxial testing.
