HAND VANE SHEAR APPARATUS (T175)
Category: Soil
Product Code: T175
Category: SOIL
Sub-Category: SOIL CLASSIFICATION
- A pocket vane tester in engineering testing laboratories is used to measure the in-situ shear strength of cohesive soils, typically in the field. It consists of a set of blades that are rotated into the soil to create a shear failure. The resistance to rotation is used to calculate the undrained shear strength of the soil, providing valuable information for geotechnical design, particularly for foundations and stability analysis in clayey soils.
