The AMS 59033 Pocket Vane Shear Test Kit is a reliable and easy-to-use tool for determining shear strength values of cohesive soils. With its all-metal construction, this kit is designed to last long and withstand the toughest conditions.
The kit includes three vanes - regular, large, and small - each suitable for different types of soils. The regular vane, with a range of 0 to 1 kg/cm², is ideal for saturated cohesive soils with undrained strength, irrespective of the normal pressure. The large vane, with a torque measurement of 0.2 kg/cm², is perfect for use with remolded samples. The small vane, with a maximum torque range of 2.5 kg/cm², is specifically designed for stiffer clays.
Equipped with a calibrated dial, this pocket vane shear test kit allows for quick and efficient measurement of shear stress in kg/cm². The torque obtained from the dial reading directly corresponds to the shear strength of the soil being tested. Whether it's testing the sides of test pits, trenches, or excavations, or measuring the shear strength of thin wall or split spoon samples, the AMS 59033 Pocket Vane Shear Test Kit provides accurate results.
This handy kit also includes an allen wrench for easy adjustments and a carrying belt pouch for convenient transportation. With a shipping weight of just 1 lb (0.5kg) and a compact size of 0.2 cu. ft., this kit is portable and can be easily taken to various job sites.
Investing in the AMS 59033 Pocket Vane Shear Test Kit means investing in a reliable and durable tool that will provide consistent and accurate results for years to come. Whether you are a geotechnical engineer, soil scientist, or construction professional, this kit is essential for assessing the shear strength of cohesive soils and ensuring the success of your projects.
