Soil standard pocket penetrometer kit

Soil standard pocket penetrometer kit

Pocket penetrometer provides accurate measurements of the compressive soil strength. This 6-1/4'' unit is spring-operated, 

and it measures strength in tons/sq. ft. or kg/sq. cm by pushing a 1/4’’ diameter loading piston into soil to a depth of 0.25’’. 

The end area is a 0.25’’ compressive load which is indicated by reading a scale on the piston barrel. 

A friction ring indicates maximum reading. Made of anodized aluminum. 

An Allen wrench and plastic carrying case with belt loop are included.
