AX 01
The new Generation
AX 01 Plate Bearing Tester
electronic evaluation · mini printer · compact design
For the test, the soil is loaded and unlo-
aded in fixed steps using a circular loa-
ding plate and a hydraulic loading
device. The normal stress below the
plate and the corresponding deflec-
tions of the plate are recorded and
shown in a diagram. The electronic
device AX 01 is the simple solution to
determine the strain moduli Ev2 and
Ev1 (a figure for the bearing capacity)
and the ratio Ev2/Ev1 (a figure for the
compaction level).
The results of the test are evaluated
immediately, shown at the display, and
printed with the built-in thermo printer
at the road-works. It is usable even
under bad environmental conditions –
e.g. in rain – because of the rain pro-
ofed case, a illuminated display and
buttons at the outside. The test results
– stored at the smart card – can be used
with Microsoft Excel.
