About Laboratory Vane Shear Apparatus

Laboratory vane shear app. Hand operated:

Specifications:

  • Consists of a torque head adjustable in height by means of a lead screw rotated by a drive wheel to enable the vane to be lowered into the specimen.
  • Rotating of the vane is by means of a hand wheel which operates a worm gear arrangement during upper end of calibrated torsion spring.
  • Vane dia, rod dia, vane size & vane height as per IS specifications. The Vane Shaft is attached through the hollow upper shaft to a resetable pointer, which indicates the angle of torque on a dial graduated in degrees. The dial reading multiplied by spring factor gives the torque. A container for soil sample is also supplied, and a sampling tube of 38mm I.D. & 150mm long can also be used as container.
  • Supplied with set of four springs, one each of approx. 2 kg.cm., 4 kg.cm., 6 kg.cm., and 8 kg.cm. Complete as above in a wooden carrying case.


Precision Soil Shear Strength Measurement

Engineered for rigorous soil analysis, the Lab-VS-100 delivers accurate shear strength data through its finely graduated analog dial gauge. With a robust vane size and precise torque application, the apparatus enables repeatable results essential in geotechnical investigations.


Durable and Corrosion-resistant Design

Constructed from powder-coated mild steel, the apparatus withstands demanding laboratory conditions and frequent field use. Its corrosion-resistant finish ensures longevity and minimal maintenance, making it a cost-effective solution for routine soil testing.


User-Friendly Manual Operation

Designed for ease of use, the manual mechanism avoids reliance on electrical sources, allowing convenient operation in a range of environments. The apparatuss portability and straightforward assembly enhance its practical value for diverse soil testing scenarios.

FAQs of Laboratory Vane Shear Apparatus:


Q: How is soil shear strength measured using the Laboratory Vane Shear Apparatus?

A: Soil shear strength measurement is accomplished by inserting the vane into the soil sample and manually rotating the handle at a controlled speed of 1 revolution per minute. The dial indicator gauge records the maximum torque applied until the soil fails, which corresponds to the maximum shear stress (up to 2 kg/cm).

Q: What are the main benefits of the Lab-VS-100 for soil testing laboratories?

A: The main benefits include portable design, corrosion-resistant powder coating, and high measurement accuracy (0.01 kg/cm). Its manual operation requires no electricity, making it suitable for both laboratory and field applications, and its easy-to-read analog dial gauge ensures precise results.

Q: When should the Laboratory Vane Shear Apparatus be used in geotechnical assessments?

A: This apparatus is ideal when determining the undrained shear strength of cohesive soils, particularly during initial site evaluations, foundation investigations, or quality control in construction projects where soil stability analysis is essential.

Q: Where can the Lab-VS-100 be effectively utilized?

A: The Lab-VS-100 can be used in academic research laboratories, geotechnical engineering firms, construction material testing labs, and on-site field investigations across India, especially where portable, power-independent equipment is advantageous.

Q: What is the process for preparing a soil sample for shear measurement?

A: A representative soil sample is placed in the 1-liter container, ensuring uniformity and eliminating air pockets. The vane is positioned vertically into the sample, and then the torque applicator is used to rotate the vane while the dial gauge measures the shear stress exerted before soil failure.

Q: How does the apparatus maintain measurement accuracy in varying ambient temperatures?

A: The Lab-VS-100 is engineered to operate efficiently at ambient temperatures up to 45C. Its mechanical construction and corrosion-resistant materials ensure reliable and consistent performance with minimal interference from temperature fluctuations.
