Measuring the strength of in situ soil and the thickness and location of underlying soil layers can be accomplished using a simple, hand-held device called the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP).
The Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (Shown at below) consists of two 16mm (5/8 inch) diameter shafts coupled near midpoint. The lower shaft contains an anvil and a pointed tip which is driven into the soil by dropping a sliding hammer contained on the upper shaft onto the anvil. The underlying soil strength is determined by measuring the penetration of the lower shaft into the soil after each hammer drop. This value is recorded in millimeters (inches) per blow and is known as the DCP [enetration index (DPI). The penetration index can be plotted versus depth to identify thichness and strengths of different pavement layers or can be correlated to other soil strength parameters such as California Bearing Ratio (CBR).
Model 16-T0012/E FEATURES:
• It is tough and robust having been well proven in the field over many years.
• Allied to the foregoing, the replaceable Shear Pins enable field repairs to be easily and rapidly carried out.
• It is supplied with a reversible 'Top Nut', enabling it to be used in the standard configuration (as it is supplied) or easily changed over to the Perth Sand Penetrometer configuration.
• 'DCP Kit' comprises all the equipment and tools required to carry out a DCP test (as well as a spare set of shear pins) and all parts are designed to be replaceable on an individual basis (see parts list).
• One year warrantee against any manufacturing defects.
