Advanced Simple Shear Lever Loading Apparatus

The VJ Tech Advanced Simple Shear Lever Loading apparatus has the following features;

• Used to carry out a simple shear test to determine the shear modulus of a soil sample
• The sample is contained within confining rings under constant volume conditions and is sheared until it is stressed to failure
  
• The apparatus is microprocessor controlled, has inbuilt data logging and is mounted on a floor standing frame
• It is supplied complete with a lever loading device hanger and sample unit (with mould and confining rings).
• Horizontal and vertical loads (up to 5kN and 10 kN respectively) are measured with S-beam load cells
• Horizontal and vertical movement is measured with linear displacement LSCT transducers.
• The controlling Clisp Studio software conforms to ASTM D6528-07.
