Features

  • Continuous soil profile (1-5 cm depth increments)
  • Multiple parameters in a single test:
    • tip resistance (qt)
    • sleeve friction (fs)
    • dynamic pore pressure (Ud)
    • static pore pressure (Ueq)
    • temperature
    • inclination
  • 5, 10, 15, 20, and 40 cm2 sizes (cross sectional area)
  • Wide range of load and pressure transducer capacities to maximize accuracy in all soil types
  • Custom project specific features as required
