Penetrograph, standard set, to 80 cm

The Penetrograph is a unique devise for determination of the penetration resistance (bearing capacity) and compaction of a soil. This device is unique, because it writes the measured forces in relation to the depth directly as a graph on a chart. The measuring range of the penetrograph goes up to 5000 kN/m2 (= 5 MPa) and the device is suitable for measurements up to a depth of 80 centimetre.

The standard set includes various penetration cones, probe rods and special pens and graph paper for the recorder. The entire set, including spare parts, manual, cone check and tools, is supplied in an aluminium carrying and transport case. Each penetrograph is provided with a quality test report. Our penetrograph is suitable for many applications.

Applications

• Geotechnical soil research
• Trafficability or load bearing capacity research (e.g., construction sites)
• Checking artificial compaction of the soil (road constructions)
• Research the growing conditions of plants in the soil
• Tracing compacted layers in the soil (plow sole)
