The AMS 59011 Large 60 Degree SCP Cone Assembly is a specialized tool designed for evaluating the consistency, compaction, and bearing capacity of fine-grained and soft soils. It is an essential instrument for assessing the suitability of soil for shallow foundations and pavement subgrades.
This cone assembly features a 60-degree vertex angled cone with a surface area of 1.5 cm squared. It is specifically developed for use in fine-grained soils, particularly soft soils, up to a depth of 30 feet. In addition, for very soft soils, an optional cone with a 3 cm squared area is available.
To ensure accurate measurements, the cone assembly utilizes dual rod construction, which isolates cone resistance from shaft friction. This feature allows for precise evaluation of the soil's bearing capacity and compaction. The pressure gauge included in the assembly has a range of 0 to 70 kg/cm squared and directly reads cone resistance, eliminating the need for proving ring conversions.
Durability is a key consideration for this product. The starter rod assembly is designed to withstand an axial force of up to 250 lbf (340 N*m), ensuring its longevity and reliability in the field. The pressure gauge is marked with kg/cm squared measurements for ease of use and understanding.
The AMS 59011 Large 60 Degree SCP Cone Assembly comes complete with the essential components needed for operation, including the 60-degree cone, starter rod assembly, pressure gauge, and detailed operating instructions and parts list.
This cone assembly is constructed from high-quality materials, including stainless steel and anodized aluminum, to ensure durability and resistance to rust or corrosion. It is built to withstand the rigors of fieldwork and provide accurate and consistent results.
Whether you are a geotechnical engineer, construction professional, or soil scientist, the AMS 59011 Large 60 Degree SCP Cone Assembly is an indispensable tool for evaluating soil consistency, compaction, and bearing capacity in fine-grained and soft soils.
