Product Overview
This is an ELE International 25-0479 consolidometer or oedometer consolidation cell designed for 2.5 inch diameter soil specimens. The assembly supports one-dimensional consolidation testing, allowing controlled vertical loading and measurement of settlement over time. Porous discs permit drainage while maintaining uniform stress distribution across the sample. The 2.5 inch format is commonly used in geotechnical laboratories where larger specimen size is required for representative soil behavior. ELE International equipment is widely specified in civil engineering testing environments for consistent, standards-based soil mechanics work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What specimen size does this cell accommodate?
This model is designed for 2.5 inch diameter soil specimens.
Is the unit functionally tested?
No functional testing was performed. It has been visually inspected and appears complete.
Are porous discs and a cutting ring included?
Yes. The consolidation cell assembly includes porous discs and a cutting ring as shown.
Does this include the load frame?
No load frame is included. This listing is for the consolidation cell assembly only.
What type of testing is this used for?
It is used for one-dimensional consolidation testing to evaluate soil compressibility and settlement under applied vertical load.
Settlement data begins with controlled loading and reliable drainage. This 2.5 inch consolidation cell is ready for the next series of time versus deformation curves.
