A Short Introduction into CPT and the ASTM Standards

A Short Introduction into CPT and the ASTM Standards

May 1, 2014 by Vertek Team

If you have been thinking about expanding into the Cone Penetration Testing business but still need some more information to feel confident with your decision; or need further details to bring to your employer, you have come to the right place. This post is an introduction to the basics of CPT and how it correlates with the ASTM Standards to meet your needs and better serve your business.

If this is the first time you have really considered entering the CPT business; CPT is the use of a hardened cone shape that is pushed into the ground to substantial depths for the process of collecting immediate onsite data. CPT has proven to be an inexpensive option that not only is safe and efficient but delivers accurate data at a faster rate.

Not only is CPT an effective and inexpensive option for your drilling assignments, but it also meets the ASTM Standards, ensuring that it meets the standard of excellence (safe, quality, etc).

CPT Data & ASTM Standards

“ASTM International, formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), is a globally recognized leader in the development and delivery of international voluntary consensus standards. Today, some 12,000 ASTM standards are used around the world to improve product quality, enhance safety, facilitate market access and trade, and build consumer confidence” [ASTM].

To take a deeper dive into the value of ASTM Standards, take a look at this video:

If you have any remaining questions on the CPT business or ASTM Standards feel free to contact us at any point. We also encourage you to subscribe to our blog to help you advance your education on CPT and what it can do for you.
