Digital Unconfined Compression Testing Machine for Soil Testing

Description

A Digital Unconfined Compression Testing Machine (also known as Digital UCS Tester or Unconfined Compressive Strength Apparatus) is a specialized geotechnical instrument used to determine the unconfined compressive strength (qu) of cohesive soils (clays, silts) in undrained conditions. It applies axial load to a cylindrical soil specimen without lateral confinement, simulating quick loading scenarios where pore water cannot dissipate. Digital models feature electronic load cells, digital indicators/displays, automated data logging, and often PC/software integration for real-time stress-strain curves and calculations, offering higher accuracy and ease over manual/analog versions
