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. 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.
  • Flat cone allows for shallow measurements
  • Allows indicative measurements on samples
