The T 174 pocket vane tester has been designed to measure the undrained shear strength (Cu) of cohesive soils. The design is very similar to the well known 'Geonor' shear vane. It consists of a cylindrical body containing a torsional spring and three interchangeable vanes of different sizes.
The appropriate vane is chosen for the expected strength of the soil to be tested. The T 174 vane can be used both in situ and in the laboratory for soils having Cu = 24 t/sqm (240 kpa). The T 174 is particularly suitable in soft to medium cohesive soils where other tests do not provide adequate accuracy.
