Product Code : MSI 3047

Product Description

The MSI 3047 Soil Trimmer (Hand Operated) is designed for accurately trimming soil specimens of various diameters for triaxial and unconfined compression tests. The apparatus provides controlled and uniform specimen preparation, helping laboratories obtain specimens of the required dimensions with minimal disturbance.

The soil specimen is mounted between the lower and upper specimen grips. The lower grip is mounted on a freely rotating disc, which is operated manually during trimming. A vertically adjustable guide controls the depth of cut, while the trimming knife can be adjusted both horizontally and vertically to achieve the exact specimen dimensions. A supplied guide prevents over-cutting and helps maintain dimensional accuracy.

The apparatus is supplied complete with a wire saw, trimming knife, and 38 mm, 50 mm, 75 mm, and 100 mm diameter specimen rings.
