Digital cone penetrometer
Used to determine the moisture content at which clay soils pass from a plastic to a liquid state (liquid limit).
The result can also be used to evaluate the undrained shear strength. with digital readout of the penetration values which has readings in mm and inch, with 0,01 mm resolution, LCD 5 digits display, with zero set in any position..The cone penetrometer consists of:
-Aluminium base with levelling screws and spirit level
-Chromed vertical rod with micrometric displacement device
-Dial gauge Ø150 mm , graduated in 360°, division 0,1 mm
-Free fall slider, made of brass -Stop and release push button
-Automatic zero set -Stainless steel penetration test cone 35 mm long, 30° angle
-Weight 20 g
-Two brass cups Ø55×35 mm and 70×45 mm
Dimensions: 220x170x410 mm
