Pocket Penetrometer

Product Details : 

• The pocket penetrometer is regared as a simple tool to aid the engineers in field exploration and in checking and comparing similar types of soil, but it can never be used to obtain foundation design data.
• This light weight penetrometer is used in the field for classifying cohesive soils in terms of consistency and estimation of approximate unconfined compressive strength and shear strength.
  
• In operation, the stainless steel cylindrical tip of 0.31 cm2 area is pushed into soil so as to penetrate up to 6 mm marked point. A cursor on the scale reads directly unconfined compressive strength in kg/cm2.
