• CBR Component Sets include the choice of analog or digital components to perform CBR load and penetration testing. The Digital Set consists of the Penetration Piston, Transducer/Dial Indicator Clamping Arm, 10,000lbf Load Cell, Linear Displacement Transducer, Two-Channel Digital Readout, and software. These products are installed on a Load Frame for CBR testing. consists of a Penetration Piston,6,000lbf or 10,000lbf Load Ring, Transducer/Dial Indicator Clamping Arm, and Dial Indicator to outfit Gilson or other Load Frames for CBR testing.
• Load & Displacement Readout Kit, 10,000lbf Capacity can adapt select Load Cells and Displacement Transducers to Digital Read-Out Box for use in different testing applications.
• Digital Readouts display electronic measurements on two or four channels from Load Cells and Displacement Transducers.
• Load Cells electronically measure applied loads from 500lbf up to 20,000lbf.
• Linear Variable Displacement Transducers measure soil deformation or movement and are available in 1 and 2in ranges.
• Load Rings range in capacity from 250lbf to 10,000lbf and provide analog force measurements.
• Digital Dial Indicators are available in different ranges and resolutions to display movement and displacement measurements.
• Mechanical Dial Indicators are low-friction analog units for accurate displacement readings.
• CBR Transducer/Dial Indicator Holder is dual-purpose and attaches to a Load Frame to position a transducer or dial indicator for CBR testing.
