Automatic Oedometer Systems (ACONS Pro)

The Automatic Oedometer Systems – ACONS Pro allows you to carry out a complete consolidation test, without operator intervention, reducing testing time by up to 50%.

The ACONS Pro utilises a stepper motor, eliminating the need for weights, or a compressed air supply.

Our latest electronics on the Automatic Oedometer Systems allow for rapid application of target loads, with the flexibility to adjust PID for a variety of samples, ranging from stiff to soft soils covering all your testing needs.

Two Load Frame Options Available:

  • 15kN
  • 50kN
