Soil Mechanics and Soil Testing Equipment – Reliable Solutions for Geotechnical Analysis

Qualitest offers a comprehensive range of Soil Mechanics and Soil Testing Equipment designed to meet the rigorous demands of geotechnical laboratories, civil engineering firms, and construction quality control teams. Our equipment is engineered for precise analysis of soil behavior under various physical conditions, helping professionals make informed decisions for safe and stable infrastructure development.

Soil testing is a critical step in evaluating the properties of soils used in foundation systems, embankments, road subgrades, and other structural applications. From soil classification and compaction to shear strength and consolidation analysis, our solutions comply with international testing standards for reliable and repeatable results.

Soil Testing Equipment

Popular Soil Testing Instruments We Offer:

  • Liquid Limit & Plastic Limit Apparatus: For Atterberg Limits testing according to ASTM D4318, AASHTO T89/T90, BS 1377, UNE 10014, and NF P94-051.
  • Proctor Compaction Test Equipment: For determining optimum moisture content and maximum dry density in accordance with ASTM D698 and ASTM D1557.
  • CBR (California Bearing Ratio) Test Equipment: Used for subgrade strength evaluation following ASTM D1883, AASHTO T193, EN 13286-47, and BS 1377.
  • Direct Shear Test Apparatus: For measuring soil shear strength under various load conditions according to ASTM D3080 and ISO 17892-10.
  • Triaxial Test Systems (UU, CU, CD): Advanced systems for evaluating soil stability and deformation under stress, in compliance with ASTM D4767, ASTM D2850, and BS 1377-7.
  • Oedometer / Consolidation Test Apparatus: For settlement analysis and load behavior based on ASTM D2435 and ISO 17892-5.
