 Direct Shear Apparatus |
| Direct Shear Apparatus: IS: 2720 (Part 13), ASTM D 3080 The Direct Shear test is carried out with an apparatus consisting of a square or circular box divided into two halves. The specimen, contained in the box, is subjected to a constant normal load while an increasing horizontal force is applied to one of the sections of the shear box. This force causes a shear failure along the junction between the box sections. The shear force and the normal load are measured directly. The rate of strain is adjusted by the speed of the horizontal force applied. The loading unit has V-strips on which the shear box housing rests. The precalibrated load yoke with direct and lever system for applying normal load of 8 kg/cm2 capacity, fixtures, for proving ring brackets, for holding consolidation and strain dial gauges and lead screw for application of shear stress ML offers the following models: ML - 508 Direct Shear apparatus, 2 KN IS: 11229 - 1985, 2720 (Part 13) - 1986 Type of Shear Measurement: Direct/Residual Operation: Manual Specimen Size: 60 x 60 x 25 mm ML – 508.1 Direct Shear apparatus, 2 KN IS: 11229 - 1985, 2720 (Part 13) - 1986 Type of Shear Measurement: Direct/Residual Operation: Motorised Rates of Strain (mm/min): 1.25, Specimen Size: 60 x 60 x 25 mm Power Specifications: 230 V, 50 Hz, Single Phase, AC supply ML– 508.1D Direct Shear apparatus, 2 KN IS: 11229 - 1985, 2720 (Part 13) - 1986 Type of Shear Measurement: Direct/Residual Operation: Motorised Read Out: Digital Rates of Strain (mm/min) : 1.25, Specimen Size: 60 x 60 x 25 mm Power Specifications: 230 V, 50 Hz, Single Phase, AC supply ML – 508.2 Direct Shear apparatus, 2 KN , 12 Speed IS: 11229 - 1985, 2720 (Part 13) - 1986 Type of Shear Measurement: Direct/Residual Operation: Motorised Rates of Strain (mm/min) : 1.25, 0.625, 0.25, 0.125, 0.05, 0.025, 0.01, 0.005, 0.002, 0.001, 0.0004, 0.0002 Specimen Size: 60 x 60 x 25 mm Power Specifications: 230 V, 50 Hz, Single Phase, AC supply ML – 508.2D Direct Shear apparatus, 2 KN IS: 11229 - 1985, 2720 (Part 13) - 1986 Same As il-508.2 but read out is Digital The apparatus consists of: ML – 508001 Shear Box Assembly 1 Set ML – 508002 Halves of the Shear Box Set of 2 ML – 508003 Plane Gripper Plate 1 Pair ML – 508004 Perforated Gripper Plate 1 Pair ML – 508005 Porous Stone 1 Pair ML – 508006 Top Loading Pad 1 No. ML – 508007 Base Plate 1 No. ML – 508008 Shear Box Housing, with two Ball Roller Strips 1 No. ML - 508009 Specimen Cutter 1 No. Weights - To attain Normal Stress of 3 kg/cm2) 1 Set 0.05 kg/cm2 4 Nos. 0.10 kg/cm2 1 No. 0.20 kg/cm2 1 No. 0.50 kg/cm2 3 Nos. 1.00 kg/cm2 1 No |
