Digital Soil Cone Penetrometer
Product Code : JA-ST-9834
The Digital Soil Cone Penetrometer (SKU JA-ST-9834) determines the liquid limit of soil by the cone penetration method: a cone penetrates soil samples at different moisture contents, and the moisture content at a set depth of penetration is taken as the liquid limit. Compared with the Casagrande method it is easier to perform, depends less on the apparatus design and the operator's judgement, and suits a wider range of soils. It is supplied by JaincoLab.
