HT Series 5 Ton Digital Cone Penetrometer
The digital electronic tension 5 ton cone penetrometer is designed to address the accuracy, sensitivity and durability problems inherent in other cone penetrometer designs of the same or lower capacity. With a resolution of 3 pounds, this penetrometer provides excellent data for softer materials and eliminates the need for other low capacity cones.
The unit consists of a dual element strain gauge transducer, with the cone penetrometer electronics packaged directly behind the transducers. The cone channels are temperature compensated to provide stable readings during testing. The cone tip, sleeve (local friction element) and pore pressure element (filter) are easily and quickly changed when necessary by the operator.
The cone is available with our standard channels (tip, local friction, pore pressure, inclinometer, seismic, and temperature) and can be used in conjunction with our Vision or Resistivity modules.
Pore Pressure can be measured in either U1 or U2 position (on the face of the tip or just behind the tip)
Cone Penetrometer Channels
• Tip
• Local Friction
• Pore Pressure
• Temperature
• Inclination
• Seismic
• Resistivity Module (optional)
• Vision Module (optional)
Calibration data for tip, local friction and pore pressure channels is stored in CPU non-volatile memory.
Digital cones conform to all international standards.
