Vane Shear Apparatus

Vane Shear Apparatus that we offer is widely used in soil testing process. The Vane shaft is attached through the hollow upper shaft to a re-settable 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 38 mm ID and 150 mm long can also be used as container.

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

Rotation of the vane is by means of a hand wheel which operates a worm gear arrangement turning the upper end of a calibrated torsion spring
 

Vane diameter, rod diameter vane size and vane height are as per IS specifications
