As per Standard

A Hand-Operated Soil Trimmer is a manual device used in geotechnical laboratories to prepare soil samples for testing. It is designed to precisely trim and shape soil specimens to specific dimensions for analysis, such as shear or compressive strength tests. The hand-operated mechanism provides control over the trimming process, ensuring accurate sample preparation without disturbing the soil’s structure. This tool is commonly used in soil mechanics and civil engineering studies to ensure high-quality and reliable test results. Its manual operation makes it easy to use and suitable for fieldwork or laboratory settings.
