The Geovane is a hand-held instrument used for determining soil shear strength providing the reading in kPa. The device is simple to use. A 19mm vane blade is screwed into the base of the Geovane and the vane is pushed into the soil. Simply rotate the Geovane at a rate of 1 revolution per minute and take a reading off the face when the soil fails. The pointer stays in place when failure occurs allowing you to look up the indicated reading on the supplied calibration chart to get your reading in kPa from zero to 200.
Through the use of the optional 33mm vane, readings can be measured between the range of zero to 40 kPa. Extension rods are available to increase the depth measurement capabilities of the unit.
The Geovane is supplied complete with a 19mm vane blade, wrenches and a carrying case.
The Geovane Soil Shear Strength Tester is a revolutionary hand-held instrument designed to accurately determine the shear strength of soil. With a clear and user-friendly interface, this device provides readings in kPa, allowing for easy and efficient analysis of soil properties.
This compact and portable testing tool is incredibly simple to use. Featuring a 19mm vane blade that can be easily screwed into the base, the Geovane allows users to effortlessly penetrate the soil. Once inserted, all you need to do is rotate the Geovane at a rate of one revolution per minute. As the soil fails, the pointer on the device remains in place, thus indicating the precise reading to be taken off the face.
To cater to different requirements, the Geovane offers the option of using a 33mm vane. This enables measurements within the range of zero to 40 kPa, providing users with greater flexibility and accuracy in their assessments. Additionally, extension rods are available to extend the depth measurement capabilities of the device, ensuring that you can conduct thorough testing even in deeper layers of soil.
