Soil Static Lateral Pressure Coefficient Tester for Soil Lab Testing Axial loading 0-10kN

The static lateral pressure coefficient is the ratio of the effective lateral stress to the effective axial stress of soil under conditions of no lateral deformation.
The static lateral pressure coefficient of soil is calculated by determining the effective lateral stress and effective axial stress using a pressure gauge in drained or undrained tests, and is applicable to saturated clayey and sandy soils.

    Equipment composition

    This Soil Static Lateral Pressure coefficient of viscosity
     instrument mainly consists of an air pump, control cabinet, air pressure reaction frame, displacement sensor, lateral pressure sensor, and computer software acquisition system. It displays and stores data graphs of pore pressure, deformation, rebound, pore pressure versus deformation, pore pressure versus time, deformation versus time, rebound graphs during loading and unloading, and the maximum, minimum, and average values ​​of the data over time. Supporting Test Apparatus: K0 consolidation apparatus. 
    Computer Software Acquisition System: Real-time acquisition and monitoring of changes in displacement and lateral pressure.

    Soil Static Lateral Pressure coefficient Instrument Features: 
    Constant, stepwise loading can be achieved through air and water pressure. Dedicated software can automatically collect and monitor displacement and pressure in real time. With various container devices, one instrument can perform multiple tests.
