High-Quality Soil Automatic Direct Shear Tester Manufacturers, Quotes

The strain controlled direct shear apparatus is used to determine the shear strength of soil. Usually, a specimen is sheared under different vertical pressures to obtain the shear stress at failure. The shear strength coefficient, internal friction angle, and cohesion are determined based on Coulomb's law.

Product Description

Product Description

The instrument consists of a direct shear tester host, pressure control system, direct shear acquisition controller, air pump, and upper computer software.

Direct shear controller display features include:

High vertical pressure and shear force (utilizing linear guide rails to prevent tilting motion during push shear).
Fully adjustable displacement and speed settings.
Software functionality supporting Wi-Fi operation for enhanced connectivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What are the primary components of the direct shear tester?
The system includes a host unit, a pressure control system, a direct shear acquisition controller, an air pump, and dedicated computer software.
Q2: How accurate is the vertical loading system?
The vertical loading ranges from 0-10KN with a high precision accuracy of 0.005%.
Q3: Can I customize the shear force capacity?
Yes, while the standard range is 0-5KN, we offer an optional shear force range of 0-30KN depending on your specific sample area requirements.
Q4: What sample sizes can be tested with this instrument?
The standard test piece size is Φ 61.8 × 20mm. Optional specifications such as Φ 79.8mm are also supported.
