BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
TS-0080 Field Inspection Testing Kit is ideal for geotechnicians, geologists and
agronomists. It consists of the TS-0084 Pocket Penetrometer and of the TS-0082 Field
Inspection Pocket Vane Tester. The instrument is contained in a practical carrying case.
TS-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.
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.
TS-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
