Humboldt Mfg. Co.
Published: 21 May 2018

These Unconfined soil testers allow for quick and accurate determination of unconfined compressive strength of cohesive soils in the field or lab. The H-4180B and the digital H-4180BD Testers are designed to be a replacement for the now defunct “Rimac” tester. They can be used for on-site pile tonnage or foundation bearing capacity estimates. The light and compact design of these testers provide great portability for everyday field use. The digital model features a quality digital indicator, which provides readings to 1.0lb precision. The load ring readout of the H-4180A and H-4180B provide fast and easy-to-read direct load values in pounds. All of these testers are sturdily made of light and durable aluminum and feature a geared, hand-wheel loading system. All include a load ring and a wide 4" platen.
