You can use any of our Consolidation Cells; other manufacturers cells may be used with a special adaptor, which can be obtained from VJ Tech on request.
The ACONS supports all VJ Tech's range of data loggers either with LSCT or Digital Dial Gauge transducers for the measurement of sample settlement.
Consolidation Cells
Our fixed ring cells are made from corrosion-resistant material. The soil sample is placed on the lower porous disc with the cutter ring surrounding it. The cell ring them clamps down the cutter ring and the pressure pad (which has the upper porous disc attached to it) is placed over the sample. The whole of this assembly is enclosed within a Perspex cylinder.
