The dead weight consolidation load frame is designed for mounting on a tabletop. Constructed of anodized aluminum to ensure minimum frame distortion in use and provide corrosion resistance. Vertical rods, cross arms, and beam support rods are made from stainless steel. The beam is fitted with a counterweight and an adjustable beam position screw. Adjustable ratios of 9:1, 10:1, and 11:1.

The loading platform will accept any of the Durham Geo consolidometer cells. Settlement may be measured with a dial indicator as shown, or by using a displacement transducer and digital readout.
