Atterberg Limits Test Equipment for Soil Laboratories

Atterberg limits equipment evaluates fine-grained soil consistency at different water contents. Select liquid limit, plastic limit and shrinkage limit equipment for the project’s specified laboratory procedure.

Liquid Limit Equipment

Select liquid limit apparatus for the specified method. The motorized liquid limit machine with counter provides powered operation and a drop counter.

The liquid limit / plastic limit test accessory set includes a glass plate, evaporating dish, sample containers, pan, spatula and wash bottle. A liquid limit machine is sold separately.

Plastic Limit Equipment

Plastic limit testing evaluates soil-thread behavior as moisture content changes. The plastic limit roller includes top and bottom plates and an adhesive paper pad. Match rolling equipment and consumables to the required procedure.

Shrinkage Limit Equipment

The shrinkage limit test set supports a separate assessment of soil volume change during drying. Check the set contents and additional equipment requirements before ordering.

Method and Equipment Selection

Confirm the test method, edition and accessories. ASTM D4318-17e01 is listed by ASTM as withdrawn in 2026; a project may still specify an earlier edition. Equipment selection alone does not establish compliance with the project’s testing requirements.
