FAQs of Laboratory Vane Shear Apparatus:
Q: How is the Laboratory Vane Shear Apparatus used to measure soil shear strength?
A: The apparatus measures the shear strength of saturated cohesive soil by inserting the four-blade vane into the soil sample contained in a cylinder (60 mm diameter, 100 mm height), then rotating it at a controlled rate. The dial gauge records the torque required to cause shear failure, from which the soils shear strength is calculated.
Q: What are the available vane sizes and their application?
A: The apparatus comes with two vane sets, 38 mm and 50 mm in diameter, both featuring four blades. These sizes allow for testing soil samples of varying consistencies and provide flexibility for researchers to select the most suitable vane based on the chosen sample container.
Q: When should the Laboratory Vane Shear Apparatus be used in testing?
A: It is best employed during laboratory analysis of soft, saturated clays or cohesive soils where undrained shear strength determination is critical, typically during site investigations, foundation assessments, or quality control for geotechnical engineering projects.
Q: Where can the Laboratory Vane Shear Apparatus be installed and operated?
A: This device is designed for laboratory environments such as research institutions, soil testing centers, and educational facilities. It requires a stable bench space and a standard 220 Volt electrical outlet for operation.
Q: What benefits does the stainless steel construction offer for laboratory use?
A: Stainless steel construction enhances the apparatuss resistance to rust and deformation, ensuring consistent accuracy and extended service life even in high-humidity laboratory conditions. This durability minimizes maintenance requirements and ensures reliable long-term operation.
Q: How does the dial gauge function during soil testing?
A: The dial gauge, with a sensitivity of 0.002 mm/division, measures the rotation and resulting deformation as the vane shears through the soil, enabling precise torque and shear strength readings essential for accurate geotechnical analysis.
