About This Product
This test set estimates the bearing capacity of a soil under field loading for a given loading plate and depth of embedment. It is also used for load tests on soil and flexible pavement components in the evaluation and design of airport and highway pavements. Load is applied through a hydraulic piston and hand pump and measured by a pressure transducer, while plate movement is read on digital dial gauges set against a datum bar. Export enquiries for the Plate Load Bearing Test Apparatus are welcome from Lithuania, Portugal, Chile, Estonia and Paraguay.
