Multipress<\/h3>\n<\/div>

The multipress was purchased in 2025. It is an Owntec MP50 model, a robust and versatile\npiece of equipment designed to apply controlled and uniform loads to different types of\nmaterials. The multi-press allows for the precise compaction of samples, ensuring repeatability\nand reliability in experimental results.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Consolidometer (Broadbent)<\/h3>\n<\/div>
\"Adens\u00f4metro<\/span><\/div>

The densometer (Broadbent) began operating in 2012 and aims to compact a soil sample to a predetermined stress and degree of compaction through a controlled force exerted by an actuator. It allows vertical stresses of up to 400 kPa to be applied to the standard test box. <\/span><\/p>\n

The equipment can be divided into three main parts: the control panel, the compressed air preparation box, and the actuator. In addition, another key part is the sample box, but it is considered a separate piece of equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
