GENERAL INFORMATION
Pocket Type Soil Penetrometer is a simple, lightweight, handheld device made for instant estimates of the unconfined compressive strength of cohesive soils. Although it does not replace laboratory Unconfined Compressive Strength Test Systems for the determination of unconfined shear strengths, the Pocket Penetrometer is a valuable tool for providing approximate values quickly.
A spring-operated handheld instrument that measures the resistance of a soil sample to penetration. It is particularly useful for quick field assessments of clay strength during site investigation or construction.
