(STANDARD POCKET PENETROMETERS

16-T0171 Pocket penetrometer range 0-5 kgf/cm2

Designed for making field classification of cohesive soils in terms of consistency, shear strength and approximate unconfined compressive strength. B Dimensions: 20 mm dia. x 173 mm length

Weight approx.: 0.5 kg

16-T0163 Heavy duty pocket penetrometer

Used to obtain quickly and easily an approximate measure of the shear strength of cohesive and semicohesive soils. The special feature of this model is the design of the penetration rod, which allows a relatively deep penetration into the soil (up to 6 cm) thus reducing errors and uncertainties typical of shallow measures, which are often affected by remoulding, drying, etc.Three different sizes of penetration tips are available: the small one for hard soils, the medium one for soft and medium soil, and the large one for soft soil.

Specifications All stainless steel construction tip diameters (interchangeable): 4.5 mm for very hard soil; 6.35 mm for medium and soft soil; 8.98 for soft soil. Supplied complete with plastic case.

Measuring range: 0 to 10 kgf/cm2 B Dimensions (assembled): 210 mm length x 20 mm dia. approx.

Weight approx.: 0.5 kg
