Soil Resistivity Tester

The RX-I Soil Resistivity Tester measures resistivity changes during water uptake and swelling of unsaturated expansive soil, wet collapse of loess, and strength development of cement soil. It uses a constant-current source, digital voltage measurement, and probe measurements to relate resistivity indicators to soil structural and mechanical-property changes.

Product Description

The RX-I is intended for laboratory study of expansive soil, loess, and composite clay such as cement soil. It tracks resistivity during unsaturated expansive-soil swelling after water uptake, loess wet collapse, and cement-soil strength development, supporting a resistivity-based evaluation of structural change and the relationship between macroscopic mechanical properties and resistivity indicators.
