16-T0174 Field inspeciton pocket vane tester

Standard: ASTM D2573

This tester, designed to measure the undrained shear strength (Cu) of cohesive soils, consists of a cylindrical body with a torsional spring and three interchangeable vanes of different sizes used depending upon the expected strength of the soil.

The vanes have the following dimensions:

--Small size 32*16mm;

--Medium size 40*20mm;

--Large size 50.8*25.4mm, 101.6*50.8mm

The height/diameter ratio of all vanes is 2.

During operation the vane is driven for 10cm into the soil and then turned with the handle. Deep measure (i.e. on the top of undisturbed samples) can be obtained using the extension rod.
