Special Note:
See Unconfined Compression and CBR sections of catalog for the
respective test accessories used with the Versa-Loader.TM
Versa-LoaderTM
ASTM D-2850; AASHTO T-296.
■ 10,000 lbf. (45 kN) maximum load capacity.
■ Accurate loading speeds from 0.08" (2.032 mm) to as low as
0.001" (0.025 mm) per minute.
■ Push-button Up-Down-Stop operation with overtravel limit
switch protection.
■ Highly versatile — can be used for Quick Undrained Triaxial,
Unconfined Compression and CBR testing with proper
accessories.
The Versa-LoaderTM fills the need for any laboratory, school or other testing facility
that must have an accurate yet economical load frame capable of performing a
wide range of test procedures.
The basic loader consists of a control box, motor, load screw, vertical tie rods and
crosshead. Register symbols located on the hand adjustable locknuts assure that
the crosshead is parallel with the platen.The unit is designed for load applications
up to 10,000 lbf. (45 kN) at any speed within the range of 0.08" (2.032 mm) per
minute down to as low as 0.001" (0.025 mm) per minute.
With its wide range of accessories, the Versa-LoaderTM can be outfitted for Quick
Undrained Triaxial, Unconfined Compression, CBR and Soil Cement testing in
accordance with ASTM and AASHTO testing standards.
Special Note:
All porous stones have a high permeability to water in the order of 2 x 10-8 m/s and a very low air-entry value.
