plate bearing tester
Plate load test by DIN 18134
The electronic plate bearing tester AX01 allows to determine very easily bearing capacity and deformability of soils. The strain modules Ev1 and Ev2 of the DIN 18134:2001-09 (plate loading test) are determined. With its waterprooved case, outside lying buttons and an illuminated display the device can also be used under bad environmental circumstances. Test certificates can already be printed at the building site. The results of the inspection can be saved on a memory chipcard for further treatment on the PC.
