Dynamic Cone Penetrometer

Dynamic penetration test set with hammer, rods and cone for bearing capacity evaluation of foundation soils. Request a quote.

Overview

This instrument uses a certain hammering kinetic energy to perform engineering geological evaluation of foundation soil, and is mainly used for bearing capacity tests of foundations. The test equipment is mainly composed of three parts: a probe, penetration rods and a core hammer. The penetration rods generally use 42mm diameter drill rods, and the core hammer weighs 10kg/63.5kg. A comparison table between hammer blow count and foundation bearing capacity is also provided.

Applications

• Road and highway engineering laboratory testing
• Construction material quality control and acceptance
• Research and teaching laboratories
• Third-party inspection and certification bodies

Features

• Robust construction suitable for both laboratory and field use
• Compliant with relevant Chinese and international testing standards
• Complete with calibration certificate and operation manual

FAQ

Q1: What standards does the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer comply with?

A1: The Dynamic Cone Penetrometer is designed and manufactured in accordance with relevant Chinese national (GB) and transport industry (JTG) standards, as well as applicable ASTM and AASHTO international standards. A calibration certificate traceable to national standards is provided with each unit.

Q2: How often should the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer be calibrated?

A2: We recommend annual calibration by authorized technicians or by iRoad after-sales service center. For high-frequency laboratory use, semi-annual calibration is advised. The instrument is supplied with a factory calibration certificate.

Q3: What is the lead time and do you provide training?

A3: Standard units are usually shipped within 7-15 working days. Custom configurations may require 20-30 days. iRoad provides on-site installation, commissioning and operator training for major equipment; remote video guidance is available for standard laboratory instruments.
