Dual Mass DCP with Vertek Smart Kit

The AMS 299 Dual Mass DCP with Vertek Smart DCP Complete is a high-quality, efficient tool for quickly determining in-situ CBR values of pavement base, subbase, and subgrades. Developed by the Army Corps of Engineers, this Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) provides a low-cost solution for testing the shear strength of soil.

This model complies with ASTM D6951 specifications and includes a chart to compute CBR values. Additionally, it comes with an Excel spreadsheet template that automatically charts the test results, making data analysis quick and easy. The DCP covers a wide range of CBR values, from <.05 to 100%, and a bearing value range from 430 to 10,800 psf.

The Standard DCP Kit is designed for single operators and is perfect for state/county/city highway departments and geotech firms. It includes a stainless steel dual-mass hammer, quick-connect upper rod, drive rod, vertical scale, and upper and lower scale mounts. The kit also comes with a crush-proof Pelican carrying case with transport wheels and a wrench set for convenient transportation.

The standout feature of the AMS 299 Dual Mass DCP is the innovative Vertek SmartDCP system. This cutting-edge technology reduces the training and manpower required to collect soil behavior data while improving accuracy and simplifying field logistics. The system automatically counts blows, records the change in depth with each blow, tracks the total depth of the probe, and records data on Apple iOS and Android smart devices via Bluetooth. It eliminates the need for a ruler, pencil, and paper, and allows for easy data transfer via email or USB.

To enhance usability, the Vertek SmartDCP system comes with a free app that can be downloaded from the iOS App store or Google Play. The app and hardware combination transforms your handheld DCP into an automated tool, providing better field results and cost savings for both you and your clients. A competitively priced handheld DCP kit is also available, with the option to add rod extensions for deeper investigations.

Measuring up to the ASTM D 6951 test methods, the AMS 299 Dual Mass DCP with Vertek Smart DCP Complete is a reliable and versatile tool for accurate soil testing. Improve your efficiency and accuracy in the field with this high-quality, user-friendly DCP system.
