Product Overview
ELE Soiltest 2.5 inch diameter consolidation cell used in geotechnical laboratory testing of soil compressibility and settlement behavior. Designed for oedometer-style consolidation testing, this cell supports controlled vertical loading of soil specimens while deformation is measured over time. ELE Soiltest equipment is widely established in civil engineering and geotechnical laboratories for compatibility with standard test methods. This cell size remains relevant for academic instruction, consulting laboratories, and facilities maintaining existing consolidation frames.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this consolidation cell tested or calibrated?
No testing or calibration has been performed. Condition is based on visual inspection only.
Are the porous discs included?
Yes. Both porous discs are present.
Is the model number known?
The model number is unknown and not marked on the unit.
What test standard does this support?
This style of consolidation cell is commonly used for oedometer-based consolidation tests. Compatibility with specific standards should be verified by the user.
Will this fit my existing load frame?
Compatibility depends on the frame design and platen spacing. The 2.5 inch diameter format is common, but verification is recommended.
Quietly mechanical and purpose-built, this consolidation cell exists to measure what soils reveal under load—one increment, one curve, one data set at a time.
