## Overview

The Pocket Penetrometer is a spring-operated tool designed to accurately measure soil compressive strength with a 1/4" diameter piston. Featuring a friction ring for maximum reading, durable anodized aluminum construction, and a convenient carrying case with belt loop, it’s a compact essential for geotechnical professionals and field engineers.

## Description

Spring-operated penetrometer is used to measure compressive strength of soil by pushing a ground and polished 1/4" diameter loading piston into soil to a depth of .25". End area is .05 square inch. Compressive load in tons per square foot or kg per square cm is indicated by reading scale on piston barrel. Maximum reading reach is shown by friction ring. Made of anodized aluminum. Allen wrench and plastic carrying case with belt loop are included. 6-1/4" Long.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm looking for options to test "leaf toughness" and was wondering if this penetrometer could work for this purpose?**
A: I would not recommend using this for leaf toughness analysis.  This is for field testing/typing spoil (normally for excavation in the construction industry).

**Q: How can I obtain the softer soil adapter plate?**
A: yes

**Q: Will it work for fruits too?? and What´s the scale range? thanks**
A: It would not be accurate with fruit because of the thickness and hardness of the skin. It could give you the hardness of the skin for whatever value that may be but would not tell you the ripeness of the flesh of the fruit.

**Q: will this work on butters?**
A: No
Thanks
