Product Code: T575
Category: SOIL
Sub-Category: SOIL CLASSIFICATION
- Determines undrained shear strength of soft to medium cohesive soils on undisturbed, remoulded, or reconstituted specimens using a motorized vane with constant rotation rate and automatic peak capture.
- Fully automatic drive provides standard-compliant rotation control, ensuring repeatable shearing and accurate peak/remoulded strength evaluation with minimal operator influence.
- Integrated software manages test staging (pre-shear, shear, optional remould/second shear), logs torque–angle data in real time, and outputs results and charts suitable for technical reports.
- Interchangeable vane sets and sample-holding fixtures support moulds, jars, and tube samples, enabling rapid testing without extensive re-trimming.
- Ideal for routine laboratory strength profiling and sensitivity assessment as a fast, economical complement to triaxial and unconfined compression programs.
