Estimated delivery to New Zealand is 10-20 business days from dispatch, depending on freight mode, customs clearance, and carrier schedules.

Delivery timeframes for larger or heavier items may vary. Some products may be subject to extended lead times depending on stock availability at the time of order. For time-sensitive orders, contact us before purchasing to confirm current lead time.

Free shipping applies to all orders. Prices displayed are exclusive of GST. GST will be added at checkout and all import and customs costs are managed by TestingCore - there are no additional charges on delivery.

Returns & warranty

Qualitest products are covered by manufacturer warranties against defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty periods vary by product - many instruments in the Qualitest range carry a 12-month manufacturer warranty, and selected products such as the Qualitest CMX ultrasonic thickness gauge series carry a 2-year warranty. Contact us for specific warranty details for the product you are purchasing.

Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery for products in original, unused condition with all original packaging and accessories intact. Due to the international nature of these shipments, return freight costs are the responsibility of the buyer unless the item arrived damaged or was incorrectly supplied. Items that have been used, installed, calibrated, or modified are not eligible for return.

For warranty claims or return requests, contact us at sales@testingcore.com or call 09 558 3100.

This strain-controlled direct shear machine comes with the essentials - a shear box, soil container, loading unit, and proving ring - with a dial gauge (ordered separately) for measuring shear deformation and volume change. The soil container is typically a two-piece square shear box, and the proving ring measures the shear load applied to the soil along the shearing plane.

The QualiShear-1 uses a straight-line soil-shearing method to work out key soil properties like internal friction angle and cohesion - figures that matter for designing foundations, retaining walls, bridge slabs, pipelines, and sheet piling structures.

  • Strain-controlled operation with regulated pulling speeds
  • Rigid metal frame resists distortion - built to avoid warping, tilting, or rotating under vertical load
  • 1:12 mechanical lever ratio delivers consistent force up to 400 kPa
  • Straight-line soil-shearing method - simpler and more practical than a triaxial setup
