Dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) 8 kg hammer, 57,5 cm fall
- Product Code: SL051
Standard : ASTM D6951-03
Portable, hand-operated equipment.
To obtain a direct evaluation of the “in-situ” strength properties of road pavement layers: the DCP has been correlated with CBR (California Bearing Ratio - Kleyn 1975).
The pavement DCP consists of:
- Sliding hammer (steel made) weighing 8 kg
- Impact anvil driving rod and clip, falling 575 mm
- Steel rod, diameter 16 mm, up to a depth of 800 mm below the surface
- Supplementary rod, diameter 16 mm (useful length 400 mm)
- N° 3 threaded end cones in tempered steel, 20 mm diameter, 60° cone angle.
- Bearing plate and measuring rod with adjustable scale (graduated in mm)
- Wooden carrying case
Dimensions: 1100 x 400 x 300 mm.
Total weight: 17 kg.
All surfaces are zinc-plated to prevent corrosion.
