DCP Dynamic Cone Penetrometer 8kg

The DCP test has good relations with CBR and resilience modulus, thus the DCP Dynamic Cone Penetrometer can be used to evaluate the roadbase strength. Features quick, easy to operate, not limited to filed conditions. The DCP is developed by the TRL As per AASHTO standards, the DCP has below relations with CBR: CBR=405.3/PR1.259

Wherein the PR is the penetration rate(mm/strike times), CBR, %.
