Gilson offers a complete selection of CBR lab testing products. All components required are available separately or as a complete set in the CBR Test Set.

• Load Frames are available in a range of strain rates and capacities and are ideal for CBR or LBR testing. Frames can also be customized with different components for use in other soil testing applications.
• Load & Displacement Measurement includes Load Rings and other products designed for use in testing with Gilson Load Frames. Load Rings are available in 6,0000 and 10,000lbf capacities.
• CBR Test Set includes four Molds, Surcharge Weights, Swell Plates, and Filter Screens, along with a Spacer Disc and Tripod in one complete set that offers ease and efficiency in preparing and testing four specimens.
• California Bearing Ratio (CBR) Mold Set includes the mold, base, and collar components needed to prepare compacted specimens for CBR testing
• CBR Mold Set Components include mold, collar, and base, all sold individually. Each component is constructed of heavy steel, is rust-resistant, and meets ASTM and AASHTO standards.
• Penetration Piston for CBR Test is required for California Bearing Ratio (CBR) testing of soil and base materials. Conforms to ASTM, AASHTO, and the Army Corps of Engineers test methods.
• CBR Surcharge Weights in annular or slotted models are used in the application of surcharge forces.
• During compaction, CBR Spacer Disc is inserted into CBR Molds as a false bottom.
• CBR Swell Plate is used when measuring swell and as a carrier for surcharge weights.
• CBR Swell Tripod positions a dial indicator to measure specimen swell.
• Penetration Piston for CBR Test penetrates the CBR sample under load while the depth of penetration is recorded.
• CBR Cutting Edge fits on the end of a CBR mold for field sampling of in-situ soils.
• CBR Filters are reusable stainless steel wire mesh circles or single-use coarse filter paper placed between soil and spacer disc.
• CBR/LBR Soaking Tank is a heavy-duty container used for the soaking process of two maximum CBR or LBR molds.
• CBR/LBR Mold Support Rack is used to hold a CBR or LBR mold and test components while soaking in the Soaking Tank.
• CBR/LBR Data Acquisition Software works with the HMA-685D CBR/LBR Digital Component Set to record specimen information and display real-time test data, calculate results, then prepare reports following ASTM and AASHTO requirements.
