LS-MVS100 Digital Handheld Vane Shear Tester
LS-MVS100 is a pocket-size digital vane shear instrument for rapid field and laboratory estimates on cohesive soil. Three interchangeable vane heads cover approximately 0-20, 0-100, and 0-250 kPa, while peak hold and direct digital indication make repeated sample description more consistent than hand-feel assessment alone.
Three Cohesive-Soil Ranges
Large, medium, and small vane heads cover very soft through stiff cohesive soils without requiring separate torque instruments.
Digital Peak Hold
The display follows the applied shear response and retains the peak reading for convenient field notes and sample logs.
ASTM Handheld Vane Workflow
Configured for ASTM D8121/D8121M approximate handheld vane shear workflows in saturated fine-grained cohesive soil.
Screening, Not a Laboratory Replacement
Results are approximate and should be interpreted with the soil description, drainage condition, disturbance, sampling quality, and project-specific correlation.
Application & Search Guide
Portable in-situ soil testing with CPT, penetrometer, and vane shear instruments
LS-MVS100 Digital Handheld Vane Shear Tester is in-situ soil testing equipment for handheld approximate undrained shear strength checks under ASTM D8121/D8121M. 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-MVS100 Digital Handheld Vane Shear Tester used for?
LS-MVS100 Digital Handheld Vane Shear Tester 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-MVS100 support?
LS-MVS100 supports ASTM D8121/D8121M. Lithostek can also configure reporting fields, accessories, and calibration documents around local project or laboratory requirements.
Can Lithostek configure LS-MVS100 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.
