The Geo Site Supply Pocket Penetrometer is a compact handheld instrument for rapid comparative estimation of soil consistency and unconfined compressive strength. The piston is pressed into a suitable exposed or prepared soil surface to the shoulder mark and the resistance is read from the graduated scale.

Key Features

• Direct-reading graduated scale in kg/cm² and tons/ft²
• Adaptor foot for softer soils
• Compact, pocket-sized construction
• Simple mechanical operation without a power supply
• Corrosion-resistant field design

Typical Applications

• Trial pit and sample logging
• Rapid comparison of cohesive-soil consistency
• Preliminary site assessment
• Supporting field descriptions prepared with reference to BS 5930

Important Information

Pocket-penetrometer readings are approximate and can be influenced by sample condition, disturbance and test technique. They should not be treated as a substitute for appropriate laboratory or design testing. For direct shear-strength measurements, consider the Hand Vane Tester.
