Soil Testing Lab Equipment

Soil Cone Penetrometer

Model: EIT-3013
Standards Meets: IS 2720 P-IV

Elite Lab is manufacturer and supplier of Soil Cone Penetrometer in Kolkata, Patna, Ranchi, West Bengal, Bihar and Patna India. Soil Cone Penetrometer gives the depth of penetration is in an indirect reflection of shear strength at different water contents. The resulting linear relation enables to determine liquid limit water content corresponding to 20 mm penetration of the cone.

When compared to the Casagrande method, using a Soil Cone Penetrometer has several advantages. Compared to other tests, this one is easier to perform and less dependent on the design of the equipment or the judgement of the operator. More varieties of soil can be treated with it than with earlier procedures. In order to determine the moisture content of soil, a test is carried out using a cone-shaped instrument. The liquid limit is determined by the moisture content at a given depth of penetration into the cone. The shear strength of soils close to the liquid limit may be measured using empirical correlations, which have been developed for this purpose.

This technique of Soil Cone Penetrometer Exporter in Kolkata India is less prone to operator mistake and may be used on a wide range of soil types. Reliable test findings and immediate penetration evaluation are also provided.

Standard penetration tests and cone penetration tests are useless for discovering soft clay deposits, therefore building a foundation without first ascertaining the presence of and strength of such a layer is risky practise. As previously stated, small projects like road construction and minor constructions need the use of basic field-testing equipment. One such piece of gear is the light cone penetrometer (LCPT). It is done by taking resistance readings at a few locations, and the readings are recorded at depths of 6 metres at each location. A standard penetration test may also be run at the same location where the LCPT was carried out the day before.
