SPARES : Porous stone for 60mm x 60mm size sample available in pairs. Unit is electrically operated to give the following 12 rates or strains. 1.25, 0.625, 0.25, 0.125, 0.05, 0.025, 0.01, 0.005, 0.002, 0.001, 0.004 and 0.0002 mm/min. The apparatus is suitable for operation on 230 Volts Single Phase A.C. Supply.

Advanced Motorized Direct Shear Testing

The Direct Shear Apparatus integrates a motorized mechanism with precise control panel operations, enabling stable speed and load application during soil tests. Dial gauges deliver accurate shear displacement readings, while a sturdy build ensures longevity. Its powder-coated mild steel frame and cast iron parts resist corrosion and wear, making it ideal for intensive laboratory use and educational purposes in geotechnical engineering.

Reliable and User-Friendly Operation

Featuring semi-automatic functionality, the easy to operate with minimal technical training. Controls are thoughtfully arranged for intuitive use, and the analog/dial gauge display simplifies shear displacement monitoring. With ambient temperature adaptability and high measurement precision, this apparatus accommodates varied soil samples and testing requirements, ensuring dependable results for professionals in soil mechanics.

FAQs of Direct Shear:

Q: How does the Direct Shear Apparatus perform soil shear strength tests?

A: The uses a motorized drive to apply horizontal movement and vertical load to a soil sample within a 60 mm x 60 mm x 50 mm shear box. Measurement of displacement is tracked using dial gauges, providing accurate readings of soil shear characteristics under controlled test conditions.

Q: What are the main components included in the Direct Shear Apparatus?

A: The features a shear box, loading frame, precise dial gauges, a motorized drive mechanism, and an integrated control panel. All key components are built from durable mild steel and cast iron, ensuring high reliability and longevity in soil testing applications.

Q: When should the Direct Shear Apparatus be used in soil testing?

A: The ideal for laboratory tests where assessment of soil shear strength is critical, such as in foundations, embankments, slope stability studies, and material characterizations for construction projects.

Q: Where is the Direct Shear Apparatus commonly utilized?

A: This apparatus finds extensive use in soil mechanics laboratories, civil engineering departments, construction material testing centers, and research institutions across India, especially by exporters, manufacturers, and suppliers.

Q: What is the process for conducting a test using the Direct Shear Apparatus?

A: Operators place the soil specimen in the shear box, adjust vertical loads up to 8 kg/cm, and initiate motorized horizontal travel at speeds up to 1.25 mm/min. Displacement and shear resistance are monitored via dial gauges, and the process typically runs until desired shear displacement is reached.

Q: How does the apparatus benefit soil testing professionals?

A: By offering semi-automatic, user-friendly operation and highly accurate analog measurement (0.01 mm), the ensures precise soil shear strength assessments, helps professionals make informed engineering decisions, and streamlines the testing workflow.
