Hand Vane Tester
• Direct-reading scale with max-reading pointer.
• Provides quick and accurate shear strength values of cohesive soils.
• Lightweight carrying case for easy transport to the field.
The Hand Vane Tester is an accurate and portable instrument used for the determination of in-situ shear strength of cohesive soils, either on-site or on undisturbed or remoulded samples in the laboratory.
The instrument consists of a torque head with a direct-reading scale which is turned by hand. A non-return type pointer retains the test reading. A 19 mm (0.75”) diameter vane and 300 mm (11.8”) extension rod is supplied as standard.
Includes 19 mm (0.75”) vane, extension rod and carrying case.

m Vane; Motorised Comes with 38 and 110mm sample holder The equipment is based on a design by the Transport Research Laboratory, England, and is available in hand or motorised versions. Stress is applied through the 12.7 x 12.7 mm vane by means of any one of four calibrated springs. The motorised version produces a shearing rate of 10° per minute. Standards Compliance: BS 1377-7 EN DD ENV1997-2

• Microprocessor control• Large on-board LCD screen display• Direct entry via touch sensitive keyboard• Rapid approach and return to start datum• Fully variable speed, 0.00001 to 9.99999 mm/minute• Accepts specimens up to 100 mm squareThe ELE Direct Shear Apparatus accepts specimens 60 mm, 100 mm square or 2.5 inches in diameter. The use of a microprocessor controlled drive system and keyboard entry gives the apparatus a wide range of features that include pause and speed reset during test, RS 232C interface, operator programming of speed and control functions, self test diagnostics and many other features. A return to start datum provides a positive means of reversing the shearbox when either preparing for a new test or continuing with residual testing procedures.Safety forward/reverse travel limit switches are fitted as standard and monitored through the electronics system control.The electronics are housed in a modern moulded shroud, which includes a large LCD display and keyboard entry. The apparatus is enclosed in a robustly constructed case, has been designed for floor mounting and is supplied complete with carriage, loading hanger and 10:1 lever loading device
