About Pocket Pentrometer

Specification:

It consists of a light weight barrel assembly with a polished and ground steel loading piston plunger. A direct reading scale is engraved on the piston barrel and indicates load in kg. / sq. cm. A maximum load indicator ring is provided on the penetration plunger. The calibrated spring is heat treated and plated for rust resistance. The barrel diameter is 20mm and the length 150mm. Supplied with carrying case.

A typical pocket penetrometer spec includes a 1/4-inch (6.4 mm) diameter spring-loaded piston, a direct-reading scale for unconfined compressive strength in tons/sq. ft. and kg/cm, and a slip ring indicator to hold the reading. Key specifications also include a calibrated depth groove, rust-resistant construction, a carrying case, and an optional adapter foot to increase the piston area for testing very soft soils.

Key Components & Specifications

Loading Piston:

A calibrated 1/4-inch (6.4 mm) diameter piston, often made of stainless steel, that is pushed into the soil.
Calibration Groove:

A marking on the piston that serves as a guide for insertion depth, indicating when the 1/4-inch penetration has been achieved.
Direct-Reading Scale:

Located on the piston's barrel, this scale provides an approximate measurement of the soil's unconfined compressive strength.
Indicator Sleeve:

A slip ring that travels with the piston and remains in place after the piston is withdrawn, displaying the peak load reading.
Calibrated Spring:

A spring mechanism within the penetrometer that compresses under the force exerted by the soil.
Optional Adapter Foot:

A larger accessory that increases the effective piston area by 16 times, allowing for more accurate readings in very soft or fluid soils.
Construction:

The device is typically made of stainless steel or features plating to resist rust and ensure durability.

Primary Applications

Soil Classification:

Used in geotechnical engineering to quickly classify the consistency and strength of cohesive soils in the field.
Shear Strength:

Measures the approximate shear strength and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of soil.
Field and Lab Use:

Suitable for both rapid field testing and laboratory analysis of soil samples.
