The Hydrocon SWCC consolidation cell is the basic part of the apparatus for the determination of the magnitude and rates of consolidation of unsaturated soil. Because of the low permeability of some materials, to perform a drying and wetting stage can take several weeks. The Hydrocon SWCC cell, is a flexible soil testing apparatus capable of applying mono-axial loading up to 3500 kPa to a 100 mm dia. specimen. It permits to obtain the characteristic soil/water suction curve, as its base is fit High Air Entry Stone (HAES), that allow water to pass through but not the air, and allows to control the soil matrix potential, at various values: 1, 2, 5, 10 and 15 bar
