Soil Vane Shear Test Apparatus Indoor Testing Vane Shear Test Equipment ASTM

The vane shear test is an extension of in-situ testing. It involves pressing the vane head into the soil to the test depth and applying torque to cause shear failure, thereby determining the soil's shear strength. Indoor testing equipment focuses on "precise testing in a laboratory environment," overcoming the limitations of in-situ testing and providing fundamental data support for geotechnical engineering (such as foundation bearing capacity and slope stability analysis).

    Equipment composition

    The vane shear test consists of a vane head, a torque device, and a measuring device. The core component is a hand-cranked main unit (200mm diameter floor), with an optional motor to improve testing accuracy.
    Motor selection: Supports British Standard (240V/50Hz), American Standard (ASTM, 110V/60Hz), and General Purpose (240V/50Hz) motors. An electric loading module can also be added later.

    Application Scenarios: 

    The indoor vane shear Apparatus is widely used in geotechnical laboratories, university research institutions, and engineering testing organizations. By combining "in-situ testing + precise laboratory control", it provides shear strength data support for soft soil engineering (such as subway, bridge, and port foundations), making up for the limitations of conventional indoor tests. It is an indispensable testing tool in the field of soil mechanics.
