Model:GDSLADS
Use:Meets ASTM D-3999, ASTM D-5311, and ASTM D-6528 Standards. GDS Large Automated Direct Shear System (GDSLADS) is an electro-mechanical direct shear testing device for large samples, up to 300mm square or round.
Standard:GBT 50123-2019
Product Code : GDSLADS
Key features | Benefits to the user |
---|---|
Electro-mechanical actuation: | Only mains electricity required (no hydraulics or pneumatics) therefore reducing the space required and providing a more accurate system. |
Electro-mechanical & normal force application: | No hanging weights, hydraulics or pneumatics. |
Automated data logging (multiple stage tests): | Testing can run unattended over night and at weekends to increase throughput and reduce staff costs. Multiple stage tests can be preprogrammed and saved in GDSLAB. |
Cylindrical or square samples can be supplied, as well as multiple sample boxes: | GDSLADS has the flexibility to test different shaped samples allowing the user greater flexibility of use, along with increased throughput of tests via multiple sample boxes. |
Built in loadcells (Standard 100kN, other ranges can be provided): | Interchangeable loadcells allow lower range loadcells to be used for more accurate low stress testing. |
Stiff construction: | To reduce equipment compliance and increase accuracy. |
After setting of shear gap no further user intervention is required: | Automated test control and a greater throughput of samples. |
