Product Description

Soil Pocket Penetrometer/Mini Penetrometer:

The pocket penetrometer is specifically used to determine the penetration resistance of top layers (measuring depth 5 mm) and of samples in the field or in the laboratory. When pushing the instrument into the ground, the pin encounters a force of the ground. The spring is compressed by this force. A slip ring is taken along during this operation, which shows on the scale the maximum force that has been encountered. The scale has been calibrated in such a way that The pocket penetrometer is specifically used to determine the penetration resistance of top layers (measuring depth 5 mm) and of samples in the field or in the laboratory.

The scale has been calibrated in such a way that the penetration resistance that has been encountered can be read on it immediatelythe penetration resistance that has been encountered can be read on it immediately.

Designed for making field classification of cohesive soils in terms of consistency, shear strength and approximate unconfi ned compressive strength.
