Unconfined Compressive Strength

Gilson Load Frames by Karol Warner and associated components make it easy to create a system to best fit your application.

• Load Frames are manufactured by Karol-Warner and available in models with varying strain rates. They can perform a wide range of laboratory soil tests simply by changing components.
• Load & Displacement Measurement products for testing unconfined compression strength, and measuring loads and displacement are available individually or in a set with all needed components.
• Unconfined Compressive Strength Data Acquisition Software works with the HMA-683D Component Set to record specimen information and real-time test data, calculate results, then prepare reports following ASTM and AASHTO requirements.
• Plastic Discs for Soil Tests are placed at both ends of soil specimen during sample preparation.
• Swivel Platen distributes load properly for soil-cement samples up to 4in (102mm) diameter for unconfined compressive strength testing.
• 3in Platens for Unconfined Compressive Strength are designed for use with 2.8in and smaller samples.
• Sample Preparation products designed for unconfined compressive strength testing and include trimmers, saws, extruders, and molding components.
