LS-RM-CS1 Rock Side-Constrained Swelling Test Apparatus ISRM Suggested Methods

Defined Lateral Restraint

The rigid metal ring limits radial expansion so the axial swelling response can be measured under a repeatable boundary condition.

Direct 0.001 mm Indication

The top-mounted displacement indicator provides a simple, traceable reading path for routine laboratory testing.

Complete Specimen Accessories

The apparatus is shown with the specimen ring, loading cap, and permeable plates required for the immersion workflow.
