Torvane Shear Tester Set, Metal— H-4212M<br />

This device is recommended for the rapid determination of shear strength<br />

of cohesive soils, in either the field or laboratory. The tester may be used for<br />

in-place testing of pits or trenches It permits the determination of a large<br />

number of strength values with different orientation of failure planes. It is<br />

simple to use with sample trimming eliminated. All that is needed is a<br />

reasonably flat surface 25mm in diameter. It gives repeatable values in<br />

homogeneous clay. Extensive laboratory testing indicates excellent<br />

agreement between the unconfined compression test and the shear tester.<br />

The simultaneous use of the TST and a pocket penetrometer allows rapid<br />

evaluation of the degree of the internal friction of soil in shear strength or<br />

to determine if the soil is essentially cohesive.<br />

Torvane Shear Tester Set, Plastic— H-4212<br />

Similar to H-4212M, but made of plastic. Comes in plastic case.<br />

<strong>Soil</strong> Color Charts— H-4368<br />

<strong>Soil</strong> color is measured by comparing with color chart. Set includes nine hue<br />

charts displaying 322 colors on a neutral gray chart stock. Apertures are cut<br />

between the adjacent color chips so sample may be evaluated directly against<br />

the standard colors. Charts, diagrams and interleaves fit into a six-ring looseleaf<br />

binder. Charts are 7-1/4 x 4-1/4" (184x108mm), small enough for field use<br />

Tropical <strong>Soil</strong> Charts— H-4368T<br />

Tropical <strong>Soil</strong> Charts for use with H-4368. Special charts for reddish tropical<br />

soils. Recommended for regions such as South and Central America,<br />

Africa, India, Malaysia, and similar tropical areas. Includes two charts<br />

that fit into H-4368 binder.<br />

Sand Grading Chart— H-4369<br />

Unique chart useful to engineers, geologists, contractors, and soil scientists<br />

for uniform classification of sands.<br />

<strong>Soil</strong> Strength Classifier, 125lbf / 55kgf Capacity— H-4180.125<br />

<strong>Soil</strong> Strength Classifier, 250lbf / 110kgf Capacity— H-4180.250<br />

<strong>Soil</strong> Strength Classifier, 350lbf / 160kgf Capacity— H-4180.350<br />

Hand-lever operated, soil strength classifier provides fast manual<br />

approximations of unconfined compressive strength on many soil types in<br />

the field or lab. Platen accepts up to 2" (51mm) sample diameters and up to<br />

4-1/2" (114mm) lengths. Reads loads on 4-1/4" (108mm) dial face with ±1%<br />

of dial capacity as held with second maximum-reading pointer. Dial has 1 lbf<br />

divisions on outer scale, 1 kgf divisions on inner scale. Unit has cast aluminum<br />

housing. Base dimensions are: 5-3/4 x 10-1/4" (146 x 260mm), drilled for<br />

optional bench mounting. Calibration spring confirms proper operation; order<br />

separately. Shipping wt. 18 lbs. (8.2kg)<br />

<strong>Soil</strong> Strength Classifier, 125lbf / 55kgf Capacity— H-4186.125<br />

<strong>Soil</strong> Strength Classifier, 250lbf / 110kgf Capacity— H-4186.250<br />

<strong>Soil</strong> Strength Classifier, 350lbf / 160kgf Capacity— H-4186.350<br />

The H-4186 Series <strong>Soil</strong> Classifiers are identical to the H-4180 Series except<br />

they feature a geared hand-wheel loading system. This unique system<br />

provides a more uniform rate of load and easier loading and recording of<br />

peak values by a single operator.<br />
