The AMS 59018, 24" SCP Starter Rod Assembly is an essential tool for evaluating the consistency, compaction, and bearing of fine-grained and soft soils. This static cone penetrometer is specifically designed to assess the soil's level of compaction and the stability of shallow foundations and pavement subgrades.
Ideal for use in fine-grained soils, particularly soft soils, this SCP starter rod assembly can penetrate depths of up to 30 feet. The assembly features a 60-degree vertex angled cone with an area of 1.5 cm squared, ensuring accurate measurements. For extremely soft soils, an optional cone with a larger 3 cm squared area is also available.
One of the standout features of this assembly is its dual rod construction, which effectively isolates cone resistance from shaft friction. This design ensures precise measurements and reliable data interpretation. The pressure gauge, ranging from 0 to 70 kg/cm squared, allows for direct reading of cone resistance, eliminating the need for proving ring conversions. This saves time and effort during testing procedures.
Manufactured with high-quality materials, including stainless steel and anodized aluminum, this starter rod assembly is built to withstand rigorous testing conditions. The starter rod assembly is designed to withstand an axial force of up to 250 lbf (340 N*m), providing durability and longevity.
Included in the package are the following components: a 60 degree cone with a maximum area of 1.5 cm squared, the starter rod assembly, a pressure gauge, and operating instructions with a parts list. These resources ensure that you have everything you need to properly operate and maintain the assembly.
When accuracy and reliability are crucial, choose the AMS 59018, 24" SCP Starter Rod Assembly. It is the perfect tool for evaluating soil consistency, compaction, and bearing capacity in fine-grained and soft soils. Trust in its durable construction and precise measurements to get the job done efficiently and effectively.
