Description:

• The UTB-0126 Automatic Electronic Penetrometer is used for determination of the needle penetration according to EN 1426, ASTM D5 and AASHTO T49 standards.
• The penetration depth of the needle is determined with a pulse type electronic measuring system, which is separated from the plunger during the test, this allows the free guidance of the plunger which virtually eliminates friction during the test.
• The frame with levelling screws and spirit level consists of a digital control unit with touch screen, an anodised aluminium base plate with entering guide, magnifying lens and low voltage illuminator mounted on flexible arms.
• The penetration depth of the cone is determined with a pulse type electronic measuring system, which is separated from the plunger during the test, this allows the free guidance of the plunger which virtually eliminates friction during the test.
• The cone is lowered so that the tip of the cone just touches the surface of the soil by pressing up and down arrows on the screen with fast and slow-motion option.
• In this process, magnifying glass and led lamp help the operator.
• The penetrometer allows the cone to free fall into the sample for the specific stated time interval which can be set on display.
• A thermometer (IP38, ASTM 17C or 63C) required for the test should be ordered separately.
