PRS-ZE0095 : Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP)

STANDARDS :

The PRS-ZE0095 Dynamic Cone Penetrometer is used for the rapid, in situ measurement of structural properties of existing road pavement constructed with unbound materials.

it incorporates an 8 kg weight dropping through a height of 575 mm and 60° cone having a diameter of 20 mm. with the standard DCP measurements can be made down to a depth of approximately 850 mm or when extension shafts are used to a recommended maximum depth of 2 m.

Readings are usually taken after a set number of blows, changing the number according to the strength of the layer being penetrated. A typical test takes only a few minutes, therefore the instrument provides a very efficient method of obtaining information that would normally require the digging of test pits.

The penetration hammer assembly consists of 8 kg hammer, hammer shaft, anvil with plastic plate coupling for ruler and handle.
