UTS-0088
Pocket Shear Vane Device
The UTS-0088 Pocket Shear Vane Device is a practical equipment for determining the shear strength of cohesive soils. It is widely used to perform onsite measurements of excavations covering trenches and test pits, thin-wall or split core samples, by providing a quick and efficient method for shear strength measurements and it is also suitable for laboratory usage. Pocket Shear Vane Device is supplied in a plastic carrying case.
Standards ASTM D2573 The UTS-0080 Field Inspection Testing Kit is ideal for geotechnicians, geologists and agronomists. It consists of the UTS-0084 Pocket Penetrometer and of the UTS-0082 Field Inspection Pocket Vane Tester. The instrument is contained in a practical carrying case. UTS-0082 Field Inspection Pocket Vane Tester is used to measure the undrained shear strength (CU) of cohesive soils, consists of a cylindrical body with a torsional spring and three interchangeable vanes of different sizes used depending upon the expected strength of the soil. Extension rod 500mm is included.

DYNAMIC CONE PENETROMETER
The height/diameter ratio of all vanes is 2. During operation the vane is driven 5-6 cm into the soil and then turned with the handle. Deep measures (i.e. on the top of undisturbed samples) can be obtained using the extension rod. The tester is supplied in a plastic case.
Product Code UTS-0095
UTS-0084 Heavy Duty Pocket Penetrometer is used to obtain quickly and easily an approximate measure of the shear strength of cohesive and semicohesive soils. The special feature of this model is the design of the penetration rod, which allows a relatively deep penetration into the soil (up to 6 cm) thus reducing errors and uncertainties typical of shallow measures, which are often affected by remoulding, drying etc. three different sizes of penetration tips are available : the small one for hard soils, the medium one for soft and medium soil, and the large one for soft soil. Supplied complete with plastic case.

TRL Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP)
The design of the DCP is similar to that described by Kleyn, Maree and Savage (1982); it incorporates an 8 kg weight dropping through a height of 575 mm and 60° cone having a diameter of 20 mm. with the standard DCP measurements can be made down to a depth of approximately 850 mm or when extension shafts are used to a recommended maximum depth of 2 m. Readings are usually taken after a set number of blows, changing the number according to the strength of the layer being penetrated. A typical test takes only a few minutes, therefore the instrument provides a very efficient method of obtaining information that would normally require the digging of test pits.
UTS-0084
