Product features:

The shear strength or stress of the soil depends on different soil properties, such as: granule composition, humus content, moisture and degree of coverage and density of the roots (in the case of areas covered with vegetation). In order to determine the shear stress in the layers of a profile pit, for example on the surface (e.g., a sports field), at the bottom of a well or a sample, different shear stress meters have been developed.

That field inspection wing tester can be used to determine the maximum shear force it can exert on a soil. Measurement is possible in this area (on the surface, under profile pits or holes) and also in the laboratory (on the sample).

The measured shear stress can be read on the clearly readable scale ring. In soft soils it is not necessary to first make a well. Extension rods can be used in these cases on a dummy wing to determine drag.

The standard set includes among other items: a field inspection vane tester, complete with three blades (16 x 40 x 20 and 25.4 x 50.8 mm) and a dummy blade, various extension rods, spanners and a sturdy carrying case Contains.
