Description
Penetrometer, Static Cone
Used in fine-grained, soft soils at shallow foundation and pavement subgrades to evaluate for soil consistency, level of compaction and bearing capacity. Unmatched for accuracy,
reliability and ease of use. Pressure gauge with 0-70kg/cm2 is scaled for direct reading of cone stress, eliminating proving ring conversions. Dual-rod design eliminates soil friction factor. High strength aluminum and steel construction.
Standard model includes:
- (1) 60° cone with 1.5cm2. max. area,
- (1) 24″ (0.6m) starter rod assembly rated at 250 lbf axial force max., and
- (1) pressure gauge.
Note: The use of static cone penetrometers should not replace laboratory testing of field analysis or be used to produce foundation design data.
Additional accessories and replacement parts are available (sold separately):
