High-capacity wide-range variable rotational rate vane testing device
NRL
An apparatus for measuring characteristics of a specimen. The apparatus can accurately measure, for example, but not limited to, peak, evolution, and residual values of the undrained shear strength, yield, and viscous and plastic flow (including hardening and softening) characteristics of cohesive sediments at various pre-set and variable values of the rotational velocity of the vane sensor.
