Description
The S4641 Pocket Geotester dial penetrometer set is perfect for on-site measurement of soil compaction by testing the foundation plane or boring samples. The geotester gives readings of estimated unconfined compressive strength in TSF or kg/cm2 when used with the standard 1/4" dia. plunger. Readings can also be taken with the 10, 15, 20, 25mm dia. plungers which deliver guidelines to safe bearing pressures for foundations in consolidated soils. The maximum value is retained on the dial until it is released by a push button. The inner dial scale has readings of 0-6.0 x 0.1 divs. in TSF or kg/cm2 and the outer scale delivers load strength over 0-11 kg range x 0.1 kg divs. The dial is 2-1/2" and has a sturdy noncorrosive construction. Calibration is achieved by the operator using the supplied register plates. The geotester is furnished with stainless steel plungers, carrying case, data tables, register plates and instructions.
