Ring Shear Apparatus

Home Facilities Ring Shear Apparatus

Make: Controls.S.S.P.A

Model: 27-Wf2202

  • The TORSHEAR EmS can complete the whole test from consolidation to shear stage automatically Cell Pressyure and back pressure.
  • 40 cm2 stainless steel ring shear box fitted ith easily removable sintered porous stone.
  • Maximum vertical stress 1200 kPa; maximum shear stress 1000 kPA; Test can be perfomed with vertical load control or at constant volume.
  • Infinite variable speed from 0.00001 to 1000°/min, with pre-shearing stage selectable and adjustable number of cycles of shearing.

  • Calculation of Peak and Residual shear strength as per ASTM D6467
  • The residual shear strength is used to evaluate the stability of slopes that do not have a pre-existing shear surface
