Pocket Shear Vane, Metal

Pocket Shear Vane Metal is a trusted tool for field testing, and Pocket Shear Vane Metal Price in Bangladesh is a popular search among professionals looking for dependable soil testing equipment. Designed for quick and accurate measurement of soil shear strength, this compact instrument is suitable for construction sites, geotechnical investigations, research, and educational applications. Built with durable metal construction, the pocket shear vane offers excellent resistance to wear and frequent field use. Its lightweight and portable design allows users to carry it easily, making on site testing more efficient and convenient. The ergonomic structure ensures comfortable handling, while the precision mechanism helps deliver consistent and reliable test results.

Pocket Shear Vane, Plastic

The H-4212 pocket shear vane tester provides a quick and efficient method for determining shear strength values of cohesive soils. The pocket shear vane is widely used for taking on-site measurements of excavations, including trenches and test pits. It is also used for taking readings from thin-wall or split core soil samples. It can also be used in the laboratory for evaluations. The device is widely used by safety and OSHA inspectors, back hoe operators, field testing technicians, consulting engineers, etc. This device comes with three vanes, which are easily attached or removed. The torvane shear tester is molded plastic and comes in a plastic molded case. The pocket shear vane can be used to gather a large number of readings including those from different failure planes without the need to prepare and trim samples. The device can be used on any reasonably flat surface that is slightly larger than the vane surface being used. The pocket shear vane can be used with fully-saturated, fine-grained soils with an undrained strength independent of normal pressure, including a wide range of clays from soft to stiff consistency. Readings can be made from 0 to 2.5 TSF (1 Kg/cm2). The dial on the unit reads in 0.05 TSF (0.05 Kg/cm2) increments.

Field Vane Shear Set

The Vane Shear Set provides a rapid check of the stability of foundations, excavations and trenches in clay. The total range is 0 to 260kPa (0 to 2.6 ton/sq. ft.). The scale built into the handle holds the peak value until reset. Accuracy is ±10%. Four different sized vanes are included with the set (16 x 32, 20 x 40, 25.4 x 50.8mm and 50.8 x 101.6mm). The effective ranges are 0 to 260, 0 to 130, 0 to 65 and 0 to 8kPa. (0 to 2.6, 0 to 1.3, 0 to 0.65 and 0 to 0.08tsf). A "dummy" vane is also included to calibrate the six 0.5 meter long extension rods for effects of soil friction. All items come in a compartmentalized vinyl carrying case with three wrenches.

Geovane Soil Shear Strength Tester

The geovane is a hand-held instrument used for determining soil shear strength providing the reading in kPa. The device is simple to use. A 19mm vane blade is screwed into the base of the geovane and the vane is pushed into the soil. Simply rotate the geovane at a rate of 1 revolution per minute and take a reading off the face when the soil fails. The pointer stays in place when failure occurs, allowing you to look up the indicated reading on the supplied calibration chart to get your reading in kPa from zero to 200. Through the use of the optional 33mm vane, readings can be measured between the range of zero to 40 kPa. Extension rods are available to increase the depth measurement capabilities of the unit. The H-4221.4 Adapter is needed to attach extension rods to the geovane. The geovane is supplied complete with a 19mm vane blade, wrenches and a carrying case.

Shear Vane equipment is used to determine the undrained shear strength of cohesive soils, especially soft clays. This test is essential for geotechnical field investigations, foundation design, and soil stability analysis.
