Static Cone Penetrometer

Applications

The Static Cone Penetrometer is used to evaluate the consistency of soils, their level of compaction and the bearing capacity of shallow foundations and pavement subgrades. Specifically developed for use in fine grained soils, particularly soft soils, they use a 60° cone with an area of 1.5 cm². An optional cone with a 3 cm² area is available for use in very soft soils.

Dual rod construction isolates cone resistance from shaft friction
Pressure gauge ranging from 0 to 70 kg/cm² reads cone resistance directly, eliminating need for proving ring conversions
Stainless steel and anodized aluminum construction for reliable performance
