LS-FV100 Borehole Field Vane Shear Apparatus
LS-FV100 fills the Soil category's field diagnostics workflow with a compact vane shear kit for soft clay investigations. The instrument uses standard vane blades and torque measurement to determine the maximum torsional resistance of saturated clay and calculate undrained shear strength, Cu, under the common phi = 0 assumption.
In-Situ Soft Clay Testing
Designed for field measurement of undrained shear strength in saturated soft clay and similar fine-grained soils.
Two Vane Sizes
Includes 75 x 150 mm and 50 x 100 mm vane options for common borehole and site investigation conditions.
Portable Field Kit
A carrying-case format with guide rod and torque mechanism supports transport between investigation locations.
Application & Search Guide
Portable in-situ soil testing with CPT, penetrometer, and vane shear instruments
LS-FV100 Borehole Field Vane Shear Apparatus is in-situ soil testing equipment for higher-torque borehole field vane shear investigation under ASTM D2573. It supports site-investigation teams that need portable data while keeping screening estimates distinct from final design parameters and laboratory strength results.
What is LS-FV100 Borehole Field Vane Shear Apparatus used for?
LS-FV100 Borehole Field Vane Shear Apparatus is used for portable in-situ soil testing workflows in civil engineering materials laboratories, quality control labs, research programs, and construction material acceptance testing.
Which standards does LS-FV100 support?
LS-FV100 supports ASTM D2573. Lithostek can also configure reporting fields, accessories, and calibration documents around local project or laboratory requirements.
Can Lithostek configure LS-FV100 for my laboratory?
Yes. Lithostek application engineers can review specimen format, target standards, throughput, power supply, data output, and training requirements before quoting a suitable configuration.
