About This Product
Pocket penetrometers are designed for classifying cohesive soils in the field. Readings describe the soil in terms of consistency, shear strength and approximate unconfined compressive strength, and three tip sizes cover soils from soft to very hard. Beyond India, the Pocket Penetrometers are available for export to Bulgaria, Chad, Argentina, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Mongolia.
