About This Product
A soil lathe is used to trim a soil sample into a cylinder of even diameter and length before it goes into a test such as the triaxial or unconfined compression test. The sample is held between gripper plates and turned slowly while a cutting tool, moved by a lead screw, trims it to size. Careful trimming matters because a specimen with uneven sides or ends gives poor test readings. Schools, colleges and distributors in Djibouti, Haiti, Zambia, Moldova, United Kingdom and Laos can source the Soil Lathe Motorized Bench Mounting from School Lab Equipment India.
