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.
What is the primary function of the Indoor Vane Shear Apparatus?
It is designed to determine the undrained shear strength of soft saturated clays through precise laboratory testing, bridging the gap between in-situ and laboratory analysis.
Can the manual unit be upgraded to an electric version?
Yes, the core hand-cranked main unit supports an optional motor and electric loading module to improve testing accuracy and automate the process.
Does the equipment support different international power standards?
Absolutely. Motor selections are available for British Standard (240V/50Hz), American Standard (ASTM, 110V/60Hz), and General Purpose configurations.
Is the shear speed adjustable for specific test requirements?
Yes, the device features stepless speed adjustment ranging from 0.001 to 4.5mm/min, which can be arbitrarily set according to your testing protocol.
What kind of data can the software record?
The dedicated software and data acquisition system record maximum shear torque force, and provide full storage, display, and data management capabilities.
What soil sample dimensions are required for this test?
The equipment is optimized for soil samples with an inner diameter of 100mm and a height of 127mm.
