The Laboratory Vane Apparatus, model NG-VaneApp, comes equipped with standard configurations that ensure precision and reliability in measuring soil shear strength. The apparatus includes a vane measuring 12.7 mm x 12.7 mm, which is a critical component for directly inserting into the soil to determine shear strength accurately.

In addition to the vane, the apparatus is equipped with four calibrated springs to measure deflection and load. These springs are crucial for accurately gauging the torque applied to the vane as it rotates within the soil, which directly correlates with the soil’s shear strength. The calibration of the springs guarantees precise and consistent measurements, providing reliable data for geotechnical analysis.

These standard configurations make the Laboratory Vane Apparatus a robust tool for conducting shear strength tests on soft soils, offering a straightforward and effective method for geotechnical professionals to assess soil properties in different environments.
