I'd like to know the accuracy of the pocket vane test vs the field vane test (Nilcon). Are the results from the pocket vane reliables ?
Thanks

Wow. You asked a pretty tough question.
In my view, a pocket vane (torvane) is good for providing reasonable strength estimates. It is far better than a pocket penetrometer, but not as good as a miniature vane.
I don't have any experience with Nilcon's vane; perhaps someone else has experience with their equipment?
