A Digital CBR (California Bearing Ratio) Test Machine, despite the label “TENSILE TESTER” on its front panel. This apparatus is used in geotechnical engineering and road construction for evaluating the mechanical strength of sub-bases and sub-grades of highways
Specification/Features
- Load Capacity: Commonly 50 kN (approx. 5000 kgf) or up to 100 kN.
- Rate of Strain: The penetration piston typically moves at a constant rate of 1.25 mm/minute.
- Measurement: Equipped with a load measuring device (proving ring or load cell) and a penetration measurement device (dial gauge or linear transducer).
- Sample Size: Designed for testing cohesive materials with a maximum particle size of less than 19 mm, using a standard mold of 150 mm internal diameter.
