Soil Classification

• Penetration cone/s, cone test gauge and sample cups should be ordered separately.

• A Cone Penetrometer is used to determine the moisture content at which clay soils pass from a plastic to a liquid state, and used also for the determination of undrained shear strength.
• The UTS-0180 Semi-Automatic Penetrometer for Liquid Limit consists of a cast iron base with course and fine levelling screws, a digital penetration measurement gauge 0.01 mm resolution/readability and an automatic penetration timer unit.
• The UTS-0180 is equipped with a digital, 99 second timer, which can be set to the standard 5 second free-fall time or to some other setting for customized tests.
• When engaged the timer will allow the needle to free fall into the sample for the specific time interval and then lock the needle from advancing while providing a direct reading of the test results.
