Dispositivo de paleta de corte de bolsillo

This mechanical instrument is widely used in both field and laboratory applications to obtain rapid and reliable measurements in cohesive or semi-cohesive soils. During testing, the soil specimen is placed between the device’s shear vanes. A controlled torque is applied to the specimen by rotating the vane handle. Torque is steadily increased until the specimen begins to rotate. At the onset of rotation, the scale reading indicates the applied torque. This value is directly correlated with the shear strength of the specimen and is used in geotechnical engineering evaluations such as soil bearing capacity and slope stability. Its compact design allows easy transport during fieldwork. The durable body and precision-machined vanes provide long service life, while the easily readable scale enables rapid and accurate measurements by the operator.
