Product Code Product Description PRS-ZE0000-02 Direct Shear Test Machine ( Digital ) STANDARDS : TS 1900-2,ASTM D3080,BS 1377-7,AASHTO T236,NF P094 071-1/2 The System is capable of performing the consolidation and shearing phases of a standard direct shear and residual shear test under full automatic control. The system consists of a computer-controlled unit that utilizes micro-stepper motors to apply the vertical and horizontal loads to the soil specimen. The system is capable of doing a consolidation process at 32 phase automatically. Horizontal shearing can be applied at a specified rate of deformation or at a specified rate of horizontal force change, or at a specified set of force steps of a specified duration. The system is capable of displaying the current status of a test and graphically portraying the progress of the test in real time. The system includes the capability for the operator to alter the test process and conditions at any stage of the test. Technical Specifications Capacities 2.5 Kn, 5 Kn or 10 Kn Vertical Engine Stepper engine with built-in controls for vertical load Horizontal Engine stepper motor with built-in controls for horizontal load Speed Range 0.00003 to 15 mm per min. Horizantal Travel +125 mm Vertical Travel 12.5 mm Power supply 220-240 V 1 ph 50 Hz 750 W Dimensions: 228 x 560 x 762 mm
