The oedometer consists of a rigid aluminium alloy frame to avoid any distortion under load. The lever arm assembly is supported in precision self-aligning bearings and has three hanger positions: 9:1, 10:1, and 11:1 ratio.
Cells, dial gauges, transducers, weights etc. are not included and have to be ordered separately. For electronic measurement and data acquisition see Data Acquisition and Processing System.
