Product description

The In-Situ / Field Vane Shear Test is an essential tool used to measure the shear strength of cohesive soils directly at the construction site. It involves inserting a vane into the soil and rotating it to determine the torque required to cause failure, providing valuable data for foundation design and soil analysis.

Key Features

  • Field Use: Designed for on-site testing, eliminating the need for transporting soil samples to a laboratory.
  • Accurate Shear Strength Measurement: Directly measures the undrained shear strength of cohesive soils, providing critical data for geotechnical engineers.
  • Portable Design: Compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry and use in the field.
  • Simple Operation: Easy-to-use with a straightforward procedure to conduct tests quickly.
  • Durable Construction: Built with high-quality materials such as stainless steel for long-term durability and resistance to corrosion.
  • Versatile: Suitable for a variety of soil types, including clays and silts.
  • Reliable Results: Provides consistent results, ensuring accurate assessment of soil stability and strength.
