• Data Readouts accept electrical signals from load cells and displacement transducers and indicate values on a digital display. They feature built-in peak memory hold and tare functions and are enclosed in a sturdy protective case.
• Load Cells use variations in electrical voltages to determine total loads in compression or tension and require a data readout for display.
• Pore Pressure Transducer & Readout is housed in a portable benchtop cabinet allowing for ease of movement around the lab when performing triaxial and flexible wall permeability testing. 
• Load Rings determine loading forces by measuring the physical deformation of an aluminum ring up to 10,000lbf (44.5kN). They include a dial indicator and a calibration datasheet.
• Linear Variable Displacement Transducers are available in ranges from 0.5 to 2in (12.7 to 50.8mm) with a stainless steel actuating shaft. Each has a repeatability of 0.002mm to measure dynamic displacement.
• Digital Dial Indicators are available in a variety of ranges and resolutions. They are accurate to ±1 resolution when measuring from a known standard.
• Mechanical Dial Indicators come in many different ranges for analog measurement of dimensional differences in specimens during loading.
• Two-Channel Readout w/ 2in Displacement Transducer & 10,000lbf Load Cell is a convenient kit that measures loads in tension or compression and displays data.
• Pore Pressure Transducer with Deairing Block for precise measurement of pore water pressure in the soil sample.
