DIRECT RESIDUAL SHEAR APPARATUS
- Display of both speed and displacement with high resolution.
- Box group mounted on ball track with high quality antifriction system.
- Read value results are immediate and of extreme accuracy
- Extremely easy and practical use
The Digital Residual Direct Shear Apparatus is used for determination of the direct shear strength of soils specimen. The process is known as shear failure and occurs when shear stresses set up in the soil mass exceed the maximum shear resistance which the soil can offer, i.e. its shear strength.
The Automatic Direct Residual Shear Testing Machine comes complete with, Digital control of speed and data acquisition unit, infinitely variable speed drive from 0.00001 – 9.000000 mm/min via servo motor, wide-screen TFT control unit, 1/9, 1/10, 1/11 loading ratios, complete with a 5 kN load cell, a 25 x 0.001 mm linear potentiometric displacement transducer (for horizontal displacement), a 10 x 0.001 mm linear potantiometric displacement transducer (for vertical displacement).
Supplied complete with Geotechnical software. Shear box assembly, slotted weight set, specimen cutter and extrusion dolly.
