About In-Situ Vane Shear Test

Specification:

The apparatus is designed for conducting in situ vane shear test from bottom of a bore hole in saturated cohesive deposits for determining their in place shearing resistance.
The equipment consists of a torque applicator assembly mounted on a base, a gear wheel, which is marked in degrees, holds a torque ring and is geared to a crank, the torque ring is a split ring & deforms as torque is applied & the deformation is indicated by a dial gauge. A calibration chart to convert dial gauge readings to torque force in kgs/cm2 is supplied. A pointer is provided.
For registering the rotations of the vane, a detachable stand is provided to anchor the instrument an attachment to securely hold the string of rods is provided the equipments comprises of the following :
Torque applicator assembly capacity 2000kg/cm2 with split proving ring
& dial gauge 0.002 x 5mm complete with stand.
Vane ( with vane rod ) 37.5mm dia x 75mm high :1 no.
Vane ( with vane rod ) 50.0mm dia x 100mm high : 1 no.
Torque rod ( square cross section) 0.6mts long : 1 no.
Rods quick couplind type, 1 mtr. long : 1 no.
Rods quick coupling type, 1 mtr. long : 1 no.
Dummy rod, corresponding to 37.5mm dia vane : 1 no.
Dummy rod , corresponding to 50.0mm dia vane : 1 no.

Reliable Field Shear Strength Assessment

Designed for on-site testing, the In-Situ Vane Shear Test Apparatus allows geotechnical professionals to measure soil shear strength directly in the field. Its portability and manual operation eliminate the reliance on electrical power, ensuring uninterrupted testing in remote locations. The robust, powder-coated construction and anti-corrosive vanes guarantee long-term durability even in harsh environments.

Versatile and User-Friendly Design

Equipped with multiple vane sizes and extension rods, the device adapts to different soil conditions and test depths. The mechanical torque gauge delivers accurate and immediate readings, while the intuitive manual handle provides precise control over the test process. A sturdy carrying case and included accessories ensure everything needed is on hand for efficient setup and transportation.

FAQ's of In-Situ Vane Shear Test:

Q: How is the In-Situ Vane Shear Test conducted using this device?

A: This apparatus is manually operated by inserting the chosen vane size into the soil using the extension rods. The torque is applied via the handle at a controlled speed (0.1 to 0.2 rpm), and shear strength is read directly from the mechanical dial gauge.

Q: What types of soils can I test with this vane shear apparatus?

A: The device is suitable for a wide range of cohesive soils, including clays and silts, making it ideal for geotechnical field investigations and analysis.

Q: When should I use the 38 mm vane versus the 65 mm vane?

A: The 38 mm vane is suitable for firmer or less sensitive soils, while the 65 mm vane is recommended for testing softer or more sensitive soils, ensuring accurate shear strength measurement.

Q: Where can this test apparatus be used effectively?

A: Its portable, manual design enables use in a variety of field conditions, from construction sites to remote locations across India, without the need for an external power supply.

Q: What are the benefits of the manual, mechanical torque measurement system?

A: Manual operation guarantees field independence from electricity, while the mechanical dial gauge provides instant, accurate shear strength results. This simplicity enhances reliability and makes the device especially useful in challenging environments.

Q: How does the anti-corrosive coating on the vanes enhance the equipment's performance?

A: The anti-corrosive alloy steel vanes withstand harsh environments, minimize maintenance, and ensure authetic, repeatable measurements over time in varying humidity and temperature conditions.
