Product Code: T308

Category: SOIL

Sub-Category: SOIL CLASSIFICATION


  • The Dial-Type Soil Penetrometer is used to estimate the unconfined compressive strength, cohesion, and internal friction angle of cohesive and semi-cohesive soils directly in the field.
  • Equipped with interchangeable plungers of varying diameters, the device allows for tailored testing across a range of soil consistencies, from soft clays to dense sands.
  • A resettable maximum reading indicator ensures accurate capture of peak penetration resistance, enhancing the reliability of test results.
  • Constructed with durable materials, the penetrometer is built to withstand rigorous field conditions, ensuring longevity and consistent performance.
  • This instrument is essential for geotechnical engineers conducting preliminary site assessments, excavation planning, and evaluating soil stability for foundation design.
