Soil Cone Penetrometer

About Soil Cone Penetrometer

The Sand Pouring Cylinder is used for determination of the dry density of compact, fine, medium grained soils and for layers not exceeding 50cm thickness. A circular hole is dug into the ground, all the soil from within it collected, weighed and dried and the whole back filled with a standard uniform sand or fine gravel poured from a calibrated container for calculating the volume of the hole. The complete apparatus consists of a Sand Pouring Cylinder fitted with Conical funnel and Shutter, Cylindrical Calibration Container, and a Metal tray with a central hole.
