This consolidometer is used to test remolded specimens for expansion.
The sample is first compacted in a 4 x 1 in (10.1 x 2.54 cm) ring and
then placed in the consolidometer with dried porous stones. The supplied
12.6 lb (5.7 kg) weight is placed on the assembled specimen which is
allowed to consolidate for 10 minutes. It is then immersed in distilled
water for up to 24 hours. During this time, the sample height is monitored
with the dial gauge for determining the maximum swell.
The Expansion Index Consolidometer is made from anodized aluminum
with stainless steel hold down rods, specimen ring and weight.
It is supplied with ring, porous stones and weight. Dial indicator
not included.
