DCPT Dynamic Cone Penetration Test Apparatus for the Rapid in-situ Measurement

Description: DYNAMIC CONE PENETRATION TEST APPARATUS - (DCPT) FOR PAVEMENT / ROAD The Dynamic Cone Penetration Test provides a measure of a material’s in-situ resistance to penetration. The test is performed by driving a metal cone into the ground by repeated striking it with a 17.6 lb (8 Kg) weight dropped from a distance of 2.26 feet (575 mm). The penetration of the cone is measured after each blow and is recorded to provide a continuous measure of shearing resistance up to 5 feet below the ground surface. Test results can be correlated to California Bearing Ratios, in-situ density, resilient modulus, and bearing capacity. Applications: The Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) is an instrument designed for the rapid in-situ measurement of the structural properties of existing road pavements constructed with unbound material Features:Well proven, robust designPortable and easy to operateTests can be carried out in minutesResults correlate well with conventional CBR readingsDetects layer boundaries and thicknessesIdeal in locations where access is difficult (such as coal holes)Equipment detail: The 8 kg free fall hammer is lifted and dropped through a height of 575mm. The distance of penetration of the cone tip is then recorded and the cycle repeated. Continuous measurements can be made down to a depth of approximately 850mm or when extension shafts are fitted to a maximum recommended depth of 2 meters. Where sub-pavement layers have different strengths, the boundaries can be identified and the thickness determined.Power: Manual (Hand Operated)Cone diameter: 20 mmCone angle: 60 degreesHammer Weight: 8 KgHammer freefall height: 575 mmUpper steel shaft: 16 mm diameterLower steel shaft: 16 mm diameterLength of lower shaft: 900 - 1200 mm longGraduation of lower shaft: Marked in 5 mm incrementThe equipment comprises of the following parts and accessories: One dropping weight of 8 kg, top with handle.1 meter scale mounted on square pipePenetration rod cone and an anvil.Extension Rod (Optional Extra)One Copy of Operating Instruction manual with General Assembly DrawingAluminium or wooden carrying case.Bar, wrench and spanner accessoriesCUSTOM DUTY: if item comes under custom in your country then custom duty will be paid by buyer if charge applicable.
