The size of this displacement depends on the torque which is necessary to turn the vane (11). By means of a graduated scale (5) the shear strength of the clay is obtained.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lower and upper halves of the instrument are connected by means of threads. The scale (5) is also supplied with threads and follows the upper part of the instruments by means of two lugs. The 0-point is indicated by a line on the upper part (4). When torque is applied, the scale-ring follows the upper part of the instrument and when failure is obtained, the scale-ring (5) will remain in its position due to friction in the threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree sizes of four-bladed vanes (11) are used:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e16x32mm (extra) multiply readings with 2\u003cbr\u003e20x40mm (standard) direct readings\u003cbr\u003e25.4x50.8mm (extra) multiply readings with 0.5 \u003cbr\u003ewhich makes it possible to measure shear strength of 0 to 260, 0 to 130 and 0 to 65 kPa respectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe area ratio of the vanes are 14, 16.5 and 24% (ratio of cross sectional area of vane to the area to be sheared).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vane blades are soldered to a vane shaft (9) which again is extended by one or more 0.5 m (0.49 m) long rods. The connection between the shaft-rods and the instrument is made by threads. To make the connection as straight as possible, the rods have to be screwed tightly together and the threads are to be cleaned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe maximum shear strength that can be measured with the inspection vane tester is 260 kPa. In clays with this shear strength a force of about 40 to 50 kilos is required to press the vane down into the clay. The vane shaft is designed to take this force, but if extension rods are used, precautions against buckling are required.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CMT Equipment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47523959603377,"sku":"S182-NC","price":3095.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/5211\/8449\/files\/S182VaneShearTester3_75565e61-8d52-4cc9-b834-a91ceb163772.jpg?v=1782032671"},{"product_id":"qualishear-1-direct-shear-test-machine-apparatus-for-soil","title":"QualiShear-1 - Direct Shear Test Machine for Soil","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe strain-controlled direct shear machine includes essential components such as a shear box, soil container, loading unit, proving ring, and a dial gauge\u003cbr\u003e(ordered separately) to measure shear deformation and volume changes. One common soil container is a two-piece square shear box.
