The 8kg Dynamic Cone Penetration (DCP) Test Kit is a portable instrument for rapid in-situ assessment of subgrade and subsoil conditions. The drop hammer drives the cone into the ground and penetration per blow is recorded as the Dynamic Cone Penetration Index (DCPI), which can be interpreted alongside established correlations to estimate CBR and comparative subgrade strength.

Key Features

• 8kg drop hammer
• Replaceable steel cone tip
• Extension rods for testing below ground level
• Extraction handle
• Durable powder-coated steel construction
• Compact breakdown design for transport
• Designed with reference to BS 1377 Part 9 testing practice

Typical Applications

• Road and pavement subgrade assessment
• Earthworks quality control
• Rapid comparison of ground conditions
• CBR estimation using an appropriate project correlation

Important Information

DCPI-to-CBR relationships are correlations and should be selected and interpreted by a suitably competent person for the soil and project conditions. A 10kg DCP kit is also available.
