4.25in Swivel Top Platen for Data Acquisition (1/2in x 20tpi)
The 4.25in Swivel Top Platen is a critical component for accurately testing the compressive strength of soil-cement specimens in compliance with ASTM D1633 and ASTM D1632 standards. Designed for use with Load Frames, this platen ensures even and consistent load distribution across soil-cement samples, providing reliable and repeatable test results.
This platen is specifically engineered to accommodate soil-cement samples up to 4in (102mm) in diameter. Its 4.25in (108mm) diameter surface provides full coverage of the sample, minimizing the risk of uneven loading that could compromise test accuracy. The 1/2in x 20tpi attachment makes it compatible with a wide range of testing equipment, including 500lbf to 2,500lbf S-type Load Cells and all Load Rings.
The swivel top design allows the platen to self-align with the sample surface, compensating for any minor irregularities or imperfections in the specimen. This helps to ensure consistent contact across the entire surface area, reducing potential errors in compressive strength readings.
