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

• 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.
