06.15 SA Penetrologger

Soil & CropsIn-Situ Soil Physical Research

The penetrologger is a versatile instrument for in situ measurement of the resistance to penetration of the soil. The cone is screwed on the probing rod, which is connected with a quick coupling to the force sensor on the penetrologger. Now the cone is pushed slowly and regularly into the soil. The depth reference plate, which is on the soil surface, reflects the signals of the ultrasonic sensor, which results in a very accurate depth measurement.
