4.25in Swivel Top Platen for Data Acquisition (3/4in x 16tpi)

4.25in Swivel Top Platen for Data Acquisition (3/4in x 16tpi)

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 precise load distribution across soil-cement samples, making it an essential tool for geotechnical and construction material testing.

This platen is specifically engineered to accommodate soil-cement samples up to 4in (102mm) in diameter, featuring a 4.25in (108mm) diameter head and a 3/4in x 16tpi threaded attachment for secure and stable connection. The swivel design allows the platen to automatically adjust to any slight irregularities in the sample surface, ensuring full and uniform contact for more accurate and reliable test results.

Compatible with both 5,000lbf and 10,000lbf load cells, this platen offers flexibility across a range of testing applications and load requirements. It can be purchased individually or as part of a comprehensive Soil-Cement Component Set, making it a versatile option for laboratories of all sizes.
