Load Rings for Soil Testing, 500lbf

Load Rings for Soil Testing, 500lbf

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

Each Load Ring is equipped with a mechanical dial indicator with a resolution of 0.0001in, providing force measurements with an impressive accuracy of ±0.5%. A calibration chart is included with every ring, making it easy to convert deformation readings into precise force values — no guesswork required.

Available in eight capacities ranging from 250 to 10,000lbf, Load Rings are incredibly versatile and suitable for a wide range of laboratory tests. The 1/2inx20tpi mounting hole ensures seamless compatibility with Gilson and other manufacturers' load frames and direct shear units, making integration into your existing setup straightforward and hassle-free.
