Cone Drop Test Apparatus
Product Code : JA-GT-9859
The Cone Drop Test Apparatus (SKU JA-GT-9859) assesses the resistance of a geotextile or geosynthetic to damage from falling stones during installation. The material is clamped to give a clear diameter of 150 mm and a 1 kg brass cone with a 45 degree included angle is dropped onto it from a height of 500 mm. The diameter of the resulting hole is measured with a graduated conical device: the smaller the hole, the greater the resistance. It is supplied by JaincoLab for geosynthetics and civil engineering laboratories.
Specifications
The apparatus clamps the specimen to a 150 mm clear diameter and drops a 1 kg brass cone of 45 degree included angle from 500 mm, with a graduated conical device to measure the hole; frame dimensions are not listed in the product data and are confirmed on the quotation.

Applications of the cone drop test apparatus
Students drop the cone onto clamped samples of different geotextiles and compare the hole diameters, using them alongside tensile results to rank resistance to installation damage.
- Dynamic perforation resistance of geotextiles
- Comparing geosynthetics for installation damage
- Quality control of geotextile rolls
- Qualitative comparison with tensile test results
- Geosynthetics and civil engineering practicals
