Foundation bearing capacity detector

【Product Application】

The Proctor penetrometer, also known as the soil compaction tester or foundation bearing capacity detector, is used to measure the dry density and uniformity of backfill soil. It can replace the ring knife method, sand replacement method, and water replacement method for large-scale, comprehensive quality inspections of fill soil at construction sites, reducing geotechnical testing workload and shortening project timelines. It is suitable for construction units to conduct layered compaction and layered inspection, for quality inspection and supervision companies to perform random checks on any layer, and for universities and colleges to conduct field teaching and geotechnical experiments. It has no radioactive nuclear contamination, is low-cost, compact, and easy to carry on-site.

【Product Features】

* Low cost, compact size, easy to carry on-site.

* Digital display, no parallax.

* No radioactive nuclear contamination.

* Peak hold function. Holds the peak value until manually reset.

* Can be powered by alkaline batteries or connected to a 5V DC power supply.
