Dynamic Penetrometer: Dynamic Cone 12in Lower Drive Rod
The Dynamic Cone Penetrometer 12” Lower Rod is a must have for anyone in the soil testing and exploration industry. With its features and build quality it’s uanbeatable.
This 12inch lower rod is designed to be used with the 24inch extension rod so you can achieve greater test depth. By combining these two you can penetrate deeper into the soil and get more accurate results.
The 12inch length of the lower rod makes it a great tool for many soil testing applications. Whether you are testing for compaction, evaluating soil shear strength or load bearing capacity this tool is essential for dynamic cone penetration testing which is a method for measuring in-situ soil strength and characterising subsurface layers.
Built to the highest standards the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer 12” Lower Rod is tough enough for the toughest field conditions. Made from durable materials this rod is designed for reliability and consistency even in the harshest of environments.
As well as its build quality this lower rod meets the testing standards of ASTM D 6951. So you can trust the results it gives. By following industry standards this product ensures your soil testing follows protocols so your results are consistent and valid.
Whether you are a soil engineer, geologist or construction professional the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer 12” Lower Drive Rod is a must have tool that will take your soil testing to the next level. With its reliability and industry standards you can be confident in the results.
