Load Frames

Load Frames are Loading devices employed for application of compression and penetration loads required for various tests, such as Unconfined Compression Test, Triaxial Shear Test, California Bearing Ratio Test etc. The load application is effected by advancement of a lead screw secured against rotation by a sliding key and is measured with a Proving ring or Load Cell. Aimil manufactures a wide variety of Electro Mechanical to Microprocessor Load Frames with different designs of frame structure, modes of operation (manual or electrically driven), loading capacities, speeds of travel, so that appropriate selection is possible to meet the requirements of standard methods used for various tests to cover different soil types and sizes of specimens.
