LS-PVS300 3 m Portable Digital Field Vane Shear Kit

Configured for ASTM D2573/D2573M workflows

LS-PVS300 is a compact shallow field vane system for direct checks of undrained shear strength in cohesive soil. A digital torque indicator, four vane sizes, and six stainless-steel extension rods cover soft to stiff material while keeping the complete kit portable for site reconnaissance, trial pits, shallow profiles, and laboratory sample checks.

Instrument

Four Vane Ranges

Interchangeable vanes extend the working range from very soft cohesive soil to stiffer clay, with the selected vane determining the available shear-strength range.

3 m Portable Rod Set

Six 500 mm extension rods provide a practical shallow investigation depth while the complete 6.5 kg kit remains easy to carry between test locations.

Digital Torque Indication

Electronic torque measurement reduces dial-reading uncertainty and supports direct recording during manual field rotation.

Field Method Context

ASTM D2573/D2573M includes shallow handheld field vane work but notes stability and verticality limitations; use qualified interpretation and confirm the applicable project procedure.
