Yes, the Automatic Shear Testing Machine supports standard load rings and dial gauges for manual test data recording. This feature provides flexibility in how data is collected, allowing users to choose between automated digital data capture and traditional manual recording methods. The compatibility with standard load rings and dial gauges ensures that the machine can be easily integrated into a wide range of testing environments, accommodating both modern and conventional geotechnical laboratory setups.

The option to use manual recording tools like load rings and dial gauges is particularly beneficial in cases where digital data collection may not be required. This is especially true in educational settings where demonstrating shear strength testing principles through hands-on experience is valuable. It also serves as a reliable backup method for data collection, so that testing can continue even in the event of digital system failures.
