Read on to learn more about the features of Vertek’s Smart DCP.

A faster, more accurate DCP test.

Vertek’s Smart DCP promises to reduce the manpower required to collect soil behavior data via DCP testing, while also improving accuracy and simplifying field logistics. The system achieves this by:

• Automatically counting blows.
• Recording the change in depth with each blow.
• Tracking the total depth of the probe.
• Recording data on Apple iOS and Android smart devices via Bluetooth 4.0
  • Eliminating the need for a ruler, pencil, and paper.
• Transferring data via e-mail or USB from the smart device.
• Desktop application to organize and plot raw data.

The Vertek Smart DCP app immediately provides real-time CBR%, depth change between blows as well as total depth of penetration with each data point.

Easily attach to your current DCP

The Vertek Smart DCP kit can be mounted to most handheld DCPs on the market and is easily operated by a single person. The smart DCP kit is protected under U.S. Patents No. 7,617,718, No. 8,033,163, and No. 8,485,024.

Simple app for your smartphone

The app and hardware combination makes your handheld DCP automated and will provide you and your client better field results and cost savings. The Smart DCP mobile app is free and available at the iOS App Store or Google Play store.

Options for deeper DCP testing

We also offer a competitively priced handheld DCP kit with the ability to add rod extensions for deeper investigations.

Our Smart DCP system is compliant with ASTM standard D6951/D6951M-09.

Completed DCP tests can be graphed on the smart device in the field for quick analysis or sent via email to the investigation lead to review in the office.
