This pressuremeter distinguishes itself by its ease of use and versatility. Loading is done manually with a screw jack, which allows the user to run tests in either strain or stress controlled steps. The manually-controlled hydraulic loading system ensures a good repeatability of the test, while making unload-reload cycles very easy.
