Field Inspection Pocket Vane Tester
R27,000.00 Excl. VAT
The field inspection pocket vane tester is a compact and reliable tool for measuring soil shear strength on-site. It operates within a range of 0–260 kPa and supports a maximum torque of 38 kg·cm (5 Nm), with a testing depth of up to 3 meters. The tester includes three interchangeable vane sizes to suit various soil conditions: small (32 x 16 mm), medium (40 x 20 mm), and large (50.8 x 25.4 mm), all measured in height by diameter. It’s perfect for quick, on-site assessment of undrained shear strength in soft to medium cohesive soils during geotechnical field investigations. Lead time is 4 weeks.

Description
Field Inspection Pocket Vane Tester
The Field Inspection Pocket Vane Tester is especially designed to measure the in situ undrained shear strength in clays. The instrument consists of a T-handle cylindrical body where a torsional spring is housed, and three interchangeable vanes of different sizes, used depending to the expected strength of the soil to be tested. The height/diameter ratio of all vanes is 2.
During operation the vane is driven for 5-6 cm into the soil and then turned with the handle. Deep measures (i.e. on the top of undisturbed samples) can be obtained using the extension rod.
