Laboratory and field vane tests are used for the determination of shear strength in soils such as soft,

sensitive clay with shear strengths of 20kPa or less. Vane tests are applicable where it is difficult to obtain specimens or where extrusion from a sampling tube may cause disturbance.

Specifications: Consists of a torque head adjustable in height by means of a lead screw rotated by a drive wheel to enable the vane to be lowered into the specimen. Rotating of the vane is by means of a hand wheel which operates a worm gear arrangement during upper end of calibrated torsion spring. Vane dia, rod dia, vane size & vane height as per IS specifications. The Vane Shaft is attached through the hollow upper shaft to a resetable pointer, which indicates the angle of torque on a dial graduated in degrees. The dial reading multiplied by spring factor gives the torque. A container for soil sample is also supplied, and a sampling tube of 38mm I.D. & 150mm long can also be used as container. Supplied with set of four springs, one each of approx. 2 kg.cm., 4 kg.cm., 6 kg.cm., and 8 kg.cm. Complete as above in a wooden carrying case.

LABORATORY VANE SHEAR (MOTORISED) - (VSA-02)

Similar to above but electrically operated. Rate of rotation is 1/60 r.p.m. Suitable for operation on 230 volts, single phase, 50 cycles, A.C.supply.

Laboratory Vane Shear (Motorised)

Consists of a torque head adjustable in height by means of a lead screw rotated by a drive wheel to enable the vane to be lowered into the specimen. Rotation of the vane is by means of a hand wheel which operates a worm gear arrangement turning the upper end of a calibration torsion spring, vane dia, rod dia, vane size & vane height are as per IS specifications. The vane shaft is attached through the hollow upper shaft to a resettable pointer, which indicates the angle indicates the angle of torque on a dial graduated in degree the dial reading multiplied by spring factor gives the torque a container for soil sample is also supplied & a sampling tube of 38mm. i.d. & 150mm long can also be used as container . Supplied with set of four springs, one each of approx. 2 kgs/cm sq., 4kgs/cm sq., 6 kgs/cm sq. & 8kgs/cm sq. complete as above in a wooden carrying case. electrically operated rate of rotating is 1/60 R.P.M. Suitable for operation on 230 V A.C. Single Phase.
Laboratory Vane Shear (Motorised) - (VSA-02)

These laboratory vane shear test is performed for the estimation of undrained shear strength of cohesive soils of low shear strength. It is electrically operated and comes with a rate of rotation of 1/60 r.p.m. It is suitable for operation on a single phase 230 V supply. It consists of a torque head adjustable in height to enable the vane to lower into the specimen. Rotation of the vane is by mean of a hand wheel, which operates a worm gear arrangement turning the upper end of a calibrated torsion spring. Two rates of rotation are incorporated. The vane shaft is attached through the hollow upper shaft to a reset table pointer, which indicates the angle of torque on dial graduated in degree. The dial reading multiplied by a spring factor gives the torque. Features:

Used for determining
