This apparatus uses for determining the suitable shear strength of cohesive soils with modest shear strengths (less than around 0.5 kg/cm2). Elitelabequipment is Laboratory Van Shear Test Apparatus Motorised Manufacturers, Dealer and Wholesaler in Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Kolkata, Ranchi, Patna in India. This test determines the soil's undrained strength in both undisturbed and remolded situations. Compared to the more complex tri-axial shear test or direct shear test, the vane shear test is a less expensive and faster way to determine the shear strength of clay.

Basic components

Our apparatus is made up of four blades, each of which is attached at a 90° angle to the blades next to it. The vane's breadth is 120.115 mm, measured from one vane's edge to the other's edge. The vane has a height of 240.25 mm. The vane has a thickness of 0.50.05 mm. We take precautions to ensure that the vane does not distort when subjected to the maximum torque for which it was designed. The vane blades' penetrating edge must be honed with a 90° included angle. The vane blades must be welded together properly to a central rod with a maximum diameter of 2.5 mm in the section of the rod that will be inserted into the specimen during the test.

Laboratory Van Shear Test Apparatus Motorised Suppliers in Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Kolkata, Ranchi, Patna shear strength formula is based on the following assumptions:

• Shearing Strength is the same in both horizontal and vertical directions.
• Shear Strength is mobilized equally at the end surface and the center at the highest value, and the sheer surface is cylindrical and has a diameter equal to the vane's diameter.

Our tool is a piece of precise and portable equipment precise and portable equipment for determining the in-situ shear strength of cohesive soil on-site or in the laboratory on undisturbed or remolded samples. The instrument consists of a torque base with a hand-turned direct reading scale. Reading is made easier with the use of a non-return pointer. Vanes with rods are attached to the torque head's bottom and can be driven deep into undisturbed material under or beyond an excavated surface.
