Measure Soil Compaction with Precision and Ease

Pocket Penetrometer for Rapid Analysis of Penetration Resistance

This device is used to determine the penetration resistance of the upper soil layers. The operating principle of this penetrometer is based on measuring the maximum resistance to penetration of a cone over a distance of approximately 10 cm. The resistance is measured using a compression spring. Various cones and compression springs are available, allowing the selection of an appropriate combination depending on the expected soil resistance. Due to its limited overall length, the penetrometer can also be used for horizontal measurements, for example in the walls of profile pits.

Key Features

Accurate Resistance Measurement. Measures penetration resistance in a range from 0 to 6000 kPa with a reading accuracy of 1%.

Versatile Design. Its compact size allows both vertical and horizontal measurements, ideal for profile pits.

Interchangeable Cones. Allows the use of cones with different surface areas (0.25 and 0.5 cm²) to adapt to different soil densities.

Robust Construction. Manufactured from stainless steel and other durable materials for long-term field use.

Practical Application. Ideal for determining the density of upper soil layers, for example to assess the suitability of a sports field.
