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 />
