33-T0166
The load ring penetrometer is a cone type penetrometer which can be used to determine the bearing strength, compaction degree of subgrades. It serves as a rapid means for determining the penetration resis-tance of soils in shallow exploration work. The readings obtained in this method may be correlated to stan-dard or modified compaction data for the compaction control in the field.

In conjunction with the standard laboratory and field test, the load ring penetrometer 33-T0166 has proven to be an extremely useful tool for quick field checks and in reducing the volume of the more time consuming standard check test.
The apparatus consists of a “T” shaped handle connected to a load ring 1 kN (100 kgf) cap., with max load pointer, and of an extension rod with five 100 mm graduations. The 30 ° end cone has an area of 645 mm2 (I sq. in). Supplied complete with calibration chart.
Weight approx.: 4KG
Carry box size: 920×240×140MM
