DIGITAL PLATE LOAD TEST SET

DIGITAL PLATE LOAD TEST SET

CODE : T063

• The Digital Plate Load Test Set is used to determine the bearing capacity and deformation characteristics of soil layers in situ, essential for evaluating subgrade strength in road constructions, foundations, highways, airports, and other infrastructure projects.
• By applying incremental static loads to a circular steel plate and measuring the corresponding settlements, the system provides critical data for calculating the modulus of subgrade reaction and assessing soil stiffness under field conditions.
• The apparatus includes a hydraulic jack assembly capable of delivering and maintaining the required load, ensuring accurate simulation of field loading conditions.
• A battery-operated digital load indicator offers precise measurement and real-time display of applied loads, enhancing data accuracy and test efficiency.
• Three high-precision dial indicators, each with a range of 30 mm and a resolution of 0.01 mm, are mounted on a rigid datum bar to independently measure plate settlements, ensuring reliable deformation readings unaffected by jack movements.
• The set includes circular steel bearing plates with diameters ranging from 300 mm to 760 mm, all with a thickness of 25 mm, accommodating various test standards and site conditions.
• The modular design allows for easy assembly and disassembly, facilitating transportation and setup in diverse field environments.
