The Pocket Geotester dial penetrometer set is ideal for on-site measurement of soil strength.

It
gives estimated unconfined compressive strength directly in tsf or kg/cm when used with the
standard 1/4in dia. plunger. In addition, readings with four other plungers of 10, 15, 20 and
25mm dia. give strengths over a wide range of cohesive soil types.

The plunger is pressed into the soil to the calibration notch. The maximum value is retained
on the dial until released by a push button. Inner dial scale is 06.0 x 0.1 divisions in tsf or
kg/cm. Outer scale gives total force over 011kg range x 0.1kg divisions, and this reading is
used with charts provided to estimate bearing capacities depending on plunger used and soil
type.

Geotester has large 2.5in (63mm) dial and sturdy noncorrosive construction. Dial is user-
calibrated using register plates provided and any reliable scale of 1015lb capacity.
Penetrometer is complete with stainless steel Plungers in carrying case with instructions, Data
Tables, and Register Plates.
