The AMS 59017, 24in Static Cone Penetrometer Extension Rod Assembly is a versatile tool designed to assess the consistency, compaction, and bearing capacity of fine-grained and soft soils. This extension rod assembly is perfect for professionals in the construction, geotechnical, and civil engineering industries.
With a depth capacity of up to 30 feet, this static cone penetrometer extension rod assembly is specifically developed for use in fine-grained soils, especially soft soils. It features a 60-degree vertex angled cone with an area of 1.5 cm squared, allowing for precise and accurate measurements. For those working with very soft soils, there is an optional cone with a 3 cm squared area available.
One of the key features of this extension rod assembly is its dual rod construction, which effectively isolates the cone resistance from shaft friction. This ensures that the readings obtained are solely from the cone resistance, providing a more accurate evaluation of the soil's properties. The pressure gauge, ranging from 0 to 70 kg/cm squared, directly reads the cone resistance, eliminating the need for proving ring conversions.
Included with this assembly is a starter rod assembly designed to withstand an axial force of up to 250 lbf (340 N*m) maximum. This ensures the durability and longevity of the product, even when dealing with tough soils. The pressure gauge is marked in kg/cm squared, making it easy to interpret and analyze the results.
Made from high-quality materials such as stainless steel and anodized aluminum, this extension rod assembly is built to withstand demanding field conditions. It is robust, reliable, and built to last, even during prolonged and intensive use.
Included with the AMS 59017, 24in Static Cone Penetrometer Extension Rod Assembly are essential components such as the 60-degree cone with a maximum area of 1.5 cm squared, starter rod assembly, pressure gauge, and operating instructions/parts list. You can trust this product to deliver accurate and dependable results, making it an excellent investment for professionals in the soil evaluation industry.
