Soil Testing Lab Equipment

Pocket Pentrometer

Model: EIT-3028
Standards Meets: ASTM WK27337

Elite lab is manufacturerss and supplier of Pocket Penetrometer in Kolkata, Patna, Ranchi, West Bengal, Bihar and Jharkhand India. The "pocket penetrometer" is especially useful for determining the penetrating resistance of top layers (down to a depth of 5 mm) and samples in the field or laboratory. It can withstand pressures up to 0.5 MPa. The instrument's pin comes into touch with the earth's gravitational force when it is inserted into the ground. For accurate measurements, drive the penetrometer rod into the soil at a rate of around 1 inch per second. Penetrometer rod gradients may be used to record the depth of the soil where the 300 psi level is reached when you put the penetrometer rod with your finger into the soil.

Features :

Among other things, the penetrometer from pocket penetrometer Manufacturers assesses the consistency, shear strength, and the predicted unconfined shear strength of a material. It has a direct-reading scale that measures compressive strength in tonnes per square foot or kilogrammes per square centimetre, which is comparable to unconfined compressive strength in equivalent. The capacity of this penetrometer ranges from 0 to 4.5 tonnes. High-quality materials and a carrying bag with a belt loop are included, as are instructions on how to use the device. As per the as per the Pocket Penetrometer Suppliers, pocket penetrometers are good instruments for quickly assessing soil in the field, but should not be used to replace laboratory testing or field analysis, nor should they be utilised to create foundation design data. Elite lab is also exporter of Pocket Penetrometer in Kolkata India.

When the penetration piston is pressed into the soil, a calibration groove is cut into the piston at 0.25" (6.4mm) from its end to measure the piston's resistance. Using an engraved scale, the resistance of the calibrated internal spring is used to measure penetration force.
