06.03 Pocket Penetrometer
The "pocket penetrometer" is specifically used to determine the penetration resistance of top layers (measuring depth 5 mm) and of samples in the field or in the laboratory.
Benefits Pocket penetrometer
-
Flat cone allows for shallow measurements
-
Allows indicative measurements on samples
- Eijkelkamp 06.03 Pocket Penetrometer used to determine the penetration resistance of top layers (measuring depth 5 mm) and of samples in the field or in the laboratory.
- Measuring range 0.5 MPa.
- When pushing the instrument into the ground, the pin encounters a force of the ground.
- The spring is compressed by this force.
- A slip ring is taken along during this operation, which shows on the scale the maximum force that has been encountered.
- The scale has been calibrated in such a way that the penetration resistance that has been encountered can be read on it immediately.
