In Situ Vane Shear Test

Model: ASI-909

As Per IS : 4434-1967

The apparatus is designed for conducting in situ vane shear test from the bottom of a bore hole in saturated cohesive deposits for determining their in place shearing resistance.

Specifications:

The equipment consists of a torque applicator assembly mounted on a base. A gear wheel, which is marked in degrees, holds a torque ring and is geared to a crank.

The torque ring is a split ring and deforms as torque is applied and the deformation is indicated by a dial gauge.

A calibration Chart to convert dial gauge reading to torque force in kg cm. is supplied. A pointer is provided for registering the rotation of the vane.

A detachable stand is provided to anchor the instrument. An attachment to securely hold the string of rods is provided. The equipment comprises of the followings:

Torque applicator assembly capacity 2000kg cm with split proving ring and dial gauge 0.002mm x 5mm

complete with stand.

Vane (with vane rod) 37.5 mm dia. 75mm high………1No.

Vane (with vane rod) 50mm dia. x 100mm high………1 No

Torque rod (Square cross section) 0.6mtr. long……….1 No

Rods, quick coupling type, 1mtr. Long………………..25Nos.

Rods, quick coupling type, 1/2mtr. Long……………..10Nos.

Dummy rod, corresponding to 37.5 mm dia. vane….…1No

Dummy rod, corresponding to 50 mm dia. vane………1No

Essential Accessories:

Guide with ball bearing arrangement for alignment of the string of rods for use with 10cm casing pipe. Guide with

ball bearing arrangement for alignment of the string of rods for use with 15cm casing pipe.
