Consolidation Apparatus: The standard outfit comprises of a fixed ring type of consolidometer cell for testing specimens of 60mm dia x 20mm thick, but the unit is so designed that specimens of varying sizes from 50 mm dia to 100 mm dia can also be tested. Besides, the same loading unit can be used with floating ring consolidometer cells, which are supplied at extra cost. The standard outfit is supplied with a set of weights to give a total pressure of 10 kg/cm2 (besides a seating load of 0.05 kg/cm2 on the specimen), but an additional set of weights is required to reach the full capacity of 20 kg/cm2.
