Convert UVN to TVN

Understanding uvn and tvn file formats

UVN and TVN are specialized file formats commonly used in the field of geotechnical engineering and soil mechanics. UVN files typically store uncorrected vane test data, which is used to determine the shear strength of soil. TVN files, on the other hand, contain the corrected or processed vane test data, often after applying specific calculations or corrections to the raw measurements.

Why convert uvn to tvn?

Converting a UVN file to a TVN file is essential for professionals who need to analyze and interpret soil test results. The conversion process applies necessary corrections to the raw data, making it suitable for engineering analysis and reporting.

How to convert uvn to tvn

Since both formats are niche and used in specialized software, the conversion is typically performed within geotechnical data analysis programs. One of the most widely used tools for this purpose is Geotech Vane Test Software (such as Geotech Vane or GEO5 Vane Shear Test).

Step-by-step conversion using Geotech Vane

1. Open the Geotech Vane software.
2. Go to File → Open and select your .uvn file.
3. Review the imported raw data and apply necessary corrections as prompted by the software.
4. Once corrections are complete, navigate to File → Export or File → Save As.
5. Select TVN as the output format and save the file.
