The AMS 59020 Field Van Shear Tester Complete is a reliable and efficient tool for taking direct readings of shear strength in various types of soil. Whether you're working with soft or stiff clays, this tester can accurately determine the un-drained shear strength up to depths of 10 feet (3 meters).
With three different vane sizes, this complete set allows for precise measurements in a range of soil conditions. The calibrated scale ring built into the head assembly allows you to easily determine the peak vane value.
The cross handle serves multiple functions, allowing you to both push the vane to the desired test depth and apply the necessary shearing torque. This ergonomic design ensures ease of use and accurate results.
To ensure accurate readings, the AMS 59020 Field Van Shear Tester Complete includes a dummy probe that replaces the vane to account for skin friction of the extension rods. By performing a skin friction test adjacent to the vane test location, you can correct for any interference and obtain precise measurements.
This complete set includes everything you need to get started. It includes a torque head assembly, six extension rods, three vane sizes (0.63" x 1.25" 16 x 32 mm, 0.79" x 1.58" 20 x 40 mm, 1" x 2" 25.4 x 50.8 mm), a skin friction probe, a double-ended wrench, and a leather carrying pouch. All components are made of durable materials such as stainless steel and anodized aluminum, ensuring longevity and reliability even in harsh field conditions.
Whether you're a geotechnical engineer or a soil scientist, the AMS 59020 Field Van Shear Tester Complete is the ideal tool for accurately measuring shear strength in various soil types. With its versatile design and comprehensive set of accessories, this tester is a must-have for any professional working in the field.
