CBR Testing Machine

CBR testing machine with proving ring and plunger for pavement subgrade and base course strength testing, manufactured by GGC.

Overview

The CBR Tester determines the California Bearing Ratio of soils, aggregates and stabilized materials for pavement design. A plunger penetrates the specimen at the standard rate through a proving ring while penetration load is read from the dial gauge, at both test speeds marked on the control panel (1.27 mm/min to ASTM D1883 / EN 13286-47 and 1.0 mm/min to BS 1377-4). GGC manufactures the complete machine in our workshop with start/stop and emergency stop controls, calibrated proving ring and adjustable crosshead.
