Dynamic cone penetrometer

This apparatus has been designed for the rapid in-situ measurement of the structural properties of existing road pavements constructed with unbound materials.

Correlations have been established in earlier work between the TRL penetrometer and so that results can be interpreted and compared with CBR specifications.

The test is performed with continuous penetrations at 800 mm depth with max. depth of 2 m by using extension rods.

The penetrometer set, housed in carrying case, consists of:

-Drop sliding hammer 8 kg, falling height of 575 mm
-Impact anvil with driving rod
-Penetration rod with conical 60° point and Ø20 mm
-Bar wrench, spanners, accessories.
