The Load Ring Penetrometer is a cone-type penetrometer designed for rapid, reliable determination of the bearing strength and compaction degree of subgrades and soils in the field. Widely used by geotechnical engineers, highways contractors, and site investigation teams, it provides an immediate indication of penetration resistance without the need for laboratory testing.
Readings can be directly correlated to standard or modified Proctor compaction data, making it an essential tool for quality control during earthworks, road construction, and ground improvement projects.
Key features
1 kN load ring
100 kgf capacity with maximum load pointer for accurate peak reading retention.
30° end cone
645 mm² cone area — industry standard geometry for consistent, repeatable readings.
Extension rod with graduations
Five 100mm graduations for controlled penetration depth measurement.
T-bar handle
Ergonomic T-shaped handle for controlled, two-handed operation on site.
Calibration chart included
Supplied complete with calibration chart for direct strength correlation in the field.
Protective carry case
Supplied in a robust carry box — ready for transport between sites.
