Dynamic Cone penetrometer

Listing ID #1811211

Dynamic Cone penetrometer. The Dynamic Cone Penetration Test provides a measure of a material̢۪s in-situ resistance to penetration. The test is performed by driving a metal cone into the ground by repeated striking it with a 17.6 lb (8 Kg)weight dropped from a distance of 2.26 feet (575 mm). The penetration of the cone is measured after each blow and is recorded to provide a continuous measure of shearing resistance up to 5 feet below the ground surface.
