Other Details

The drive is by means of a rack and pinion manually through a gearing arrangement. The penetration resistance i.e. the pressure, is indicated on hydraulic gauges through a hydraulic measuring head. Two pressure gauges of 15 cm dial and capacities 0-160kg/cm.sq and 0-60kg/cm.sq are provided. An automatic cut-off valve, to protect the low capacity gauge from being over loaded is provided. The valve can be adjusted and locked at desired values between 20 to 60 kg/cm.sq. A provision is made to anchor the unit at site (with the help of four anchors) and also a provision to control the lateral movement of the unit enabling subsequent tests. The apparatus consists of:

Penetration Cone, steel, 60 deg angle, 10 cm.sq base area with friction jacket 1No.

Mantle Tube, non-uniform, 36mm OD

at the two ends and reduced dia in between

with sounding rod, working length 1m.  15 Nos.
