06.06 Hand Penetrometer For Top Layers

Soil & CropsIn-Situ Soil Physical Research

The hand penetrometer for top layers is a device that is used to determine the penetration resistance of top layers. Because of the limited overall length of the device, the hand penetrometer can also be used for horizontal measurement, for instance in the walls of profile pits.
