Soil Penetrometer Adapter Foot
The Soil Penetrometer Adapter Foot Attachment is an essential tool for testing extremely low-strength cohesive soils. It features a 1" (25mm) diameter foot, significantly larger than the standard 1/4" (6.35mm) penetrometer piston. This design increases the effective testing area by 16 times, making it ideal for obtaining accurate readings in weak soil conditions.
When using the adapter foot, it is important to divide the reading by 16 to calculate the correct unconfined compressive strength. This adjustment is necessary when the measurement is presented in tons per square foot or kilograms per square centimeter, particularly for low-load scenarios. The adapter foot ensures accuracy in soil testing, enabling more reliable data for geotechnical analysis.
Whether you are working on foundational assessments, agricultural soil evaluations, or construction projects, the Soil Penetrometer Adapter Foot provides a practical and precise solution for handling low-strength soils. Its robust design ensures durability and repeatable results, making it a valuable addition to any soil testing toolkit.
