TBTDS-5A performs consolidation & shearing operation of standard direct shear & residual shear test at an auto-controlled speed. By a micro stepper-motor the system applies horizontal shearing loading to the soil specimen at a set-up shear rate.

The shear force readings are obtained from the proving ring at specified intervals of horizontal displacement shown on the touch screen display.

Incorporated with limit sensors to prevent shear box from over-travel at forward or reverse motions.
Control panel come with LCD and keypad for manually setting and control,large liquid crystal display and with 16 keys membrane, reciprociting shear capability and times are settable built-in 16 bit Data acquisition and control.
