Features

  • Humboldt soil pocket penetrometers feature an anodised aluminium body and a stainless steel plunger for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring reliable soil penetration measurements in challenging outdoor conditions. These soil pocket penetrometers have carrying cases equipped with a belt loop for convenient & hands-free transportation.
  • Humboldt semi-automatic penetrometers incorporate semi-automatic functionality, making them easier to use and reduce the risk of human error during testing. These soil cone penetrometers include data logging capabilities, allowing users to record and store test results for future analysis and reporting. They come with real-time data display, enabling immediate assessment of soil conditions during testing.

Working Mechanism

  • These soil compaction penetrometers are devices used to measure the resistance of soil to penetration.
  • They consist of a penetrometer probe with a conical or cylindrical tip that is inserted into the soil.
  • The penetrometer is pushed or hammered into the soil and the force required to penetrate the soil is measured using a load cell or pressure gauge.
  • This force measurement is then used to calculate the soil's penetration resistance, often expressed in units of force per unit area.
  • The data obtained from these soil penetrometer tests can help engineers and geotechnical professionals assess soil compaction, shear strength and other mechanical properties, which is crucial for construction and foundation design.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the units of soil penetration resistance?

Soil penetration resistance is measured in units of force per unit area, such as pounds per square inch (psi) / kilopascals (kPa).

What are the factors to consider while choosing these Humboldt soil penetrometers?

Major factors include soil type, depth of penetration, measurement range, data accuracy, automation options, portability, accessories and calibration ease.

How to maintain these soil cone penetrometers?

  • Clean the penetrometer thoroughly after each use to remove soil residues.
  • Periodically calibrate the penetrometer to maintain measurement accuracy.
  • Inspect all components for wear and damage, including the probe tip and shaft.
  • Store the penetrometer in a dry, secure place away from extreme conditions.
  • Replace worn or damaged parts promptly for accuracy and safety.
  • Train users in proper handling, maintenance and safety procedures.
