About This Product
Triaxial and unconfined compression tests need a soil specimen cut to an exact size and shape. The soil trimmer holds the sample on a rotating disc while the trimming knife, set on its adjustable support, removes soil until the specimen fits the ring. The vertical guide controls the depth of cut, and a wire saw is supplied with the stand. Soil mechanics students use it to prepare specimens before shear strength tests such as those run on the Triaxial Shear Apparatus Single Speed.
