ADVANCED SOIL TESTING

DIRECT SHEAR TEST Standards: BS, ASTM, EURO

High technology System

for
routine test,
education,
Research
No weight placement and no
reading of measurement dials
required; thus savings in
laboratory costs and qualitative
improvement of the studies.

EMBEDDED SYSTEM

Direct connection of the measuring sensor to computer

Data Logger ist not neccessery
Quick Data transfer
Calibration and zero Balance of all parameters by software
Easy handling by keyboard and mouse
Networking
very compact and smal device laboratory space saving

 Laboratory equipment for fully automatic direct shear tests

HID - HIGH INTEGRATED DEVICES SLIMLINE

SHEAR APPARATUS MCI 110 S/1 HID SLIMLINE

The shear apparatus can be equipped with several measurement devices for performing fully
automatic shear tests as well as CD test (optional) in compliance with BS or ASTM standard.
The soil specimen tests, consolidation as well as shearing can be processed in one pre-
programmed single control runoff up to the point of evaluation.
Embodiment: Shear S
The operating software installed for shear trials controls the tests in full automatic mode,
records the measurement data generated and calculates and supplies the online graphic.
Even while shear studies are in progress, the system shows the measurement results obtained
and the calculations that have been made.
The operating software installed can be selected by mouse click:
Direct shear test Standard
residual shear test (optional)
Wienna - routine - trial (optional)
The shear apparatus is compact and can be installed in a small area; the laboratory technician has a good
overview of the progress of the soil trial at all times. (Online graphic).
In combined systems, conversion from one test type to the next can be readily done in just a few minutes.
