Penetrometer, Static Cone
Product Options
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 a 60° cone with 1.5cm2. max. area, a 24" (0.6m) starter rod assembly rated at 250 lbf axial force max., and a 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.
