Get high-precision CBR Soil Bearing Ratio Testers from a leading China factory. Our professional suppliers provide reliable equipment for geotechnical quality assessment and pavement design, ensuring stable operation and accurate load-bearing capacity results.
The Soil Bearing Ratio Tester (CBR) is a professional-grade laboratory instrument engineered for the precise evaluation of the California Bearing Ratio of highway sub-bases and subgrades. Specifically designed for cohesive materials with maximum particle sizes under 19 mm (3/4”), this system ensures critical structural integrity assessments for civil engineering and road construction projects.
Combining a robust two-column frame with high-precision loading mechanisms, the tester applies a constant penetration rate to measure the load-deformation relationship. Whether following ASTM, EN, AASHTO, or BS/NF standards, this machine provides the reliability and accuracy required for rigorous geotechnical laboratory testing.
