Unconfined Compression Tester
The ruggedly constructed machine eliminates laborious process of hand compaction and so results in a very even degree of compaction. The unit incorporates a compaction pedestal; constructed to satisfy ASTM D-1559 and BS 594 comprises a hardwood block secured to a concrete base by a 300mm square x 25mm thick steel plate. The drive mechanism lifts the 4.53 kg compaction weight to the correct height of 457mm and allows free fall.
