LS-CG-DS50 Coarse-Grained Soil Direct Shear Compression System
LS-CG-DS50 Coarse-Grained Soil Direct Shear Compression System is a coarse-grained soil direct shear system for ASTM D3080 workflows.
Direct Shear and Compression
Runs coarse-grained direct shear and compression tests on the same platform without interfering with data acquisition.
Large Circular Shear Box
Uses a two-layer circular shear box with adjustable gap height for large-particle coarse soil and rockfill specimens.
Servo Hydraulic Control
Servo hydraulic vertical and horizontal loading supports stable shear speed, pressure holding, and automatic data acquisition.
Industrial PC Workflow
An independent control cabinet with touchscreen and embedded industrial PC supports test control, curves, numerical analysis, and reporting.
