Accurate Liquid Limit Determination

This cone penetrometer ensures precise measurement of soil liquid limits, enhancing geotechnical investigations and research reliability. The device uses a 30 brass cone and a manual release mechanism, allowing for controlled and repeatable penetration tests in various soil types. Its analog dial displays readings clearly, supporting high-resolution data collection.

Robust and User-Friendly Design

With its sturdy bench-top build, easy-to-read dial, and removable scale, the penetrometer is engineered for daily laboratory wear and tear. Fully assembled and ready to use out of the box, it requires no external power, making it suitable for dependable manual testing under varying environmental conditions and humidity levels.

FAQs of Cone Penetrometer Dial Type:

Q: How is the Cone Penetrometer Dial Type used for soil liquid limit determination?

A: The device is used by placing a soil sample in the aluminium cup, adjusting the polished brass cone, and releasing it with the precision mechanism. The depth of penetration is measured on the analog dial, indicating the soils liquid limit as per standard methods.

Q: What type of soils can be tested with this cone penetrometer?

A: This apparatus is designed to assess a wide variety of soils for liquid limit, making it suitable for geotechnical labs, research institutes, and construction quality control.

Q: When should I use this manual cone penetrometer instead of an automated version?

A: The manual penetrometer is ideal for standard laboratory settings where precise, hands-on control and power independence are priorities. Its particularly suitable in locations with limited electrical infrastructure or where routine calibration and reliability take precedence over automation.

Q: Where is the best place to set up this apparatus in the laboratory?

A: The penetrometer should be placed on a stable, level bench-top to ensure accurate readings and safe operation. Ensure sufficient workspace for single specimen preparation and movement during manual operation.

Q: What is the benefit of the precision release mechanism with zero back-lash?

A: The precision release device guarantees consistent and repeatable penetration of the cone, minimizing operator error and improving test result reliability. Zero back-lash ensures the cone drops freely and measures penetration depth accurately.

Q: How often should I calibrate or maintain the cone penetrometer?

A: Routine checks for cleanliness, dial zeroing, and mechanism lubrication are recommended before each testing sequence to maintain high accuracy and reliable results.

Q: What advantages does the removable scale and analog dial offer?

A: The removable scale facilitates easy cleaning and custom calibration, while the analog dial provides immediate, clear readouts with high resolution, simplifying data recording and reducing misinterpretation during manual testing.
