Ref. Standard IS:4434
This apparatus is designed for conducting field Vane Shear tests from the bottom of boreholes in saturated cohesive deposits, for determining their in-place shearing resistance.
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 has a section cut from it and deforms as torque is applied, and the resultant deformation is indicated by a dial gauge. 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. A calibration curve to convert the dial gauge readings to kg-cm of torque is also supplied.
