8kg hammer ASTM standard Dynamic Cone Penetrometer

Model 16-T0012/A FEATURES:
• Portable, hand-operated equipment.
• To obtain a direct evaluation of the “in-situ” strength properties of road pavement layers: the DCP has been
correlated with CBR (California Bearing Ratio - Kleyn 1975).
• Field calibration of a portable dynamic cone penetrometer was made to determine a penetration resistance
relationship with the standard penetration resistance.
• The penetrometer has been found useful in the inspection of footing foundations and for light fi eld exploration
where the standard penetration range of limits is generally known
• One year warrantee against any manufacturing defects.
