Dynamic Cone Penetrometer w/ Dual-Mass Hammer is effective in soils with CBR values from 0.5 to 100. Penetration of higher-strength soils is assisted using the exclusive Dual-Mass Hammer Assembly. This 8kg (17.6lb) Hammer assembly is constructed of stainless steel. For better test values in weaker soils with CBR values of ten or less, the hammer quickly converts to a 4.6kg (10.1lb) unit. The kit includes a crush resistant Pelican case with transport wheels, the Dual-Mass Hammer assembly, 30in (76.2cm) Drive rod, and twenty five disposable cones with an adapter. Also included are a vertical scale, hardened point, T-handled hex wrench, 3-in-1 oil, and Loctite. The user’s manual contains software with an Excel® template for use as a DCP data reduction aide. Additional disposable cones, cone adapters, and hardened points are available separately.
Features:
- Rapid determinations of soil shear strength in field up to 6ft (1.8m) depth
- Measured Soil properties can be correlated with CBR or Resilient Modulus lab values
- Meets ASTM standards
