Cone Penetrometer Testing via Speed Lock Rods

Cone Penetrometer Testing via Speed Lock Rods

May 22, 2014 by Vertek Team

experienced

The strongest direct push rods in cone penetration testing.

Unsurpassed Joint Strength

Vertek manufactures a full line of CPT push rods with our proprietary Speed Lock dual-lead thread design. Speed Lock Rods provide unsurpassed joint strength, up to 50% stronger than industry standard V-threads. Our unique rope thread design uses less of the available wall thickness and balances the strength between the male and female thread ends. Speed Lock coupled joint achieves nearly 90% of the strength of the heat treated rod stock.

Increase Speed, Reduce Operator Fatigue

Our dual-lead thread provides fast coupling; 2.5 turns to couple or uncouple compared with 5-7 turns for competitor’s rods improving worksite productivity.

 Flexibility and Adaptability to Variety of Cones

Speed Lock Rods are available in standard 1.44” and 1.75” diameters. Custom sizes include 2”, 2.25” and 2.5”. Vertek also manufactures custom adapters to permit use of our advanced thread design with your current inventory of CPT equipment.

Make the most of your CPT rig and cone penetrometer testing equipment with Vertek Speed Lock Rods!
