Fully Automatic Laboratory Vane Shear Tester
The shear Vane testing is used to determine the total shear resistance of normally cohesive, un-drained soils (especially soft clays) by fast shearing and is mostly useful for soils with low shear strength.
The fully automatic lab vane was developed and designed according to the latest scientific and research insights and requirements so that undisturbed soil samples (e.g., core cutters) as well as treated samples (e.g., Proctor samples) or artificial mixtures can be tested for practical applications as well as for research purposes.
