Load Rings for Soil Testing, 1,000lbf

Load Rings for Soil Testing, 1,000lbf

Load Rings, also known as proving rings, are high-precision instruments engineered for accurate force measurement in soil testing and other laboratory applications. Constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy, these rings are built to withstand repeated use while maintaining exceptional accuracy through consistent elastic deformation.

Each Load Ring measures applied forces with ±0.5% accuracy, paired with a mechanical dial indicator offering a fine resolution of 0.0001in. This combination ensures reliable, repeatable readings across a wide range of testing conditions. A calibration chart is included with every unit, making it straightforward to convert ring deformation readings into exact force values — saving time and reducing the risk of errors in the lab.

Available in eight capacities ranging from 250 to 10,000lbf, these Load Rings are versatile enough to suit a variety of testing requirements. The standard 1/2inx20tpi mounting hole ensures seamless compatibility with Gilson load frames and direct shear units, as well as equipment from other leading manufacturers.
