Shear strength torvane (TOR) report

Sediment strength was measured on section halves using a Humbolt Manufacturing Torvane handheld instrument. The Torvane is suitable for sediment not affected by cementation (i.e., saturated, clay-rich, soft sediment).

	Exp: expedition number
	Site: site number
	Hole: hole number
	Core: core number
	Type: type indicates the coring tool used to recover the core (typical types are F, H, R, X).
	Sect: section number
	A/W: archive (A) or working (W) section half.
	Offset (cm): position of the observation made, measured relative to the top of the section.
	Depth CSF-A (m): location of the observation expressed relative to the top of a hole.
	Depth CSF-B (m): location of the observation expressed relative to the top of a hole.
	Shear strength (Torvane) (kg/cm2): vane shear strength from Torvane measurement.
	Penetration direction: orientation of the experiment orthogonal to the shear experiment plane (usually into the x-axis).
	Adapter ID: adapter used on the Torvane (2.5x, 1.0x, or 0.2x).
	Timestamp (UTC): point in time at which the observation or set of observations was made on the logger.
	Instrument: abbreviation or mnemonic for the strength sensing device used to make this observation.
	Text ID: automatically generated unique database identifier for a sample, visible on printed labels.
	Comments: observer's notes about a measurement, the sample, or the measurement process.
