Product Overview
This is an ELE International 25-0455 oedometer soil consolidation cell with 50 mm specimen diameter, designed for one-dimensional consolidation testing of soil samples. The cell applies controlled vertical loading to a confined soil specimen to measure settlement and consolidation characteristics over time. Used in geotechnical laboratories, the 50 mm format supports standardized testing protocols where precise deformation measurement is required. Porous discs allow drainage from the specimen while maintaining uniform load distribution. ELE International equipment is commonly specified in civil engineering labs for repeatable, standards-based soil mechanics testing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What specimen size does this cell accommodate?
This model is configured for 50 mm diameter soil specimens.
Are porous stones included?
Yes. Porous discs are included as shown in the photos.
Is the cutting ring included?
Yes. A cutting ring is included, along with additional rings.
What type of testing is this used for?
It is used for one-dimensional consolidation testing to measure settlement and compressibility characteristics of soils under applied load.
Does this include a load frame?
No load frame is included. This listing is for the consolidation cell assembly and rings only.
Precision in soil mechanics starts with controlled compression and reliable drainage paths. This 50 mm consolidation cell is ready for its next series of settlement curves and lab reports.
