3 Meter Perth Clay Penetrometer (DCP) Kit with Carry Case
The Perth Clay Penetrometer (commonly referred to as the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer or DCP) is a robust, field-proven instrument used to assess the strength and compaction of clayey and cohesive soils. It is widely used in geotechnical engineering, pavement evaluation, and construction quality control. The device measures soil resistance by recording the number of blows required for a cone-tipped rod to penetrate the soil, using a standardized drop weight.
Designed for clay-rich soils where sand penetrometers are unsuitable, the DCP provides a reliable indication of soil shear strength, CBR values, and bearing capacity.
Key Features:
- Heavy-duty design ideal for clay and cohesive materials
- Drop weight system for consistent penetration testing
- Provides depth vs resistance profile for soil layers
- Fast, on-site estimation of soil strength and compaction
Applications:
- Road subgrade investigations
- Pavement rehabilitation projects
- Site classification for foundations
- Quality control of compacted clay fill
It comes with:
- Top Rod
- 9kg Hammer
- Hardened DCP Tip
- Stub Adaptor
- 3 x I meter Extensions 50mm groove spacing
- 2 x 14.0mm open ended spanners
- Benchmark Penetrometer carry case*
Case Features:
- Manufactured from high impact polymer
- Includes purge valve for quick equalization after changes in atmospheric pressure
- Valuables can fit into high density foam insert, for total protection against elements
- Water tight, vibration proof, dust proof, shock proof, light weight, stackable, chemical resistant, corrosion proof
- Super strong latches
- Black finish
- Fully lockable (requires padlocks)
- External Dimensions:
- 1320mm x 400mm x 170mm
- Internal Dimensions:
- 1270mm x 300mm x 125mm
- Weight: 10.3Kg
