DESCRIPTION

Geotester pocket dial penetrometer set is ideal for on-site measurement of soil strength. It gives estimated unconfined compressive strength directly in tsf or kg/cm² when used with the standard 1/4in dia. penetration plunger. Four other plungers with 10, 15, 20, and 25mm diameters are included to give strengths over a wide range of cohesive soil types.

The piston is pressed into the soil to the calibration notch. The maximum force value is retained on the dial until released by a push button. The inner dial scale is 0–6.0 x 0.1 divisions in tsf or kg/cm². Outer scale gives total force over 0–11kg range x 0.1kg divisions, and the readings are used with the charts provided to estimate unconfined compressive strengths.

Features:

■ Provides unconfined compressive strength estimates in tsf or kg/cm².
■ Tests a wide range of cohesive soils
■ Non-corrosive and unbreakable materials.
■ User-calibrated dial
