Tenders Description & Specification for Liquid Limit Penetrometers
Liquid Limit Penetrometers
Specification:
• Cast iron base with leveling feet
• Digital penetration measurement gauge 0.01 mm precision
• Micrometer vertical adjustment device
• Automatic zeroing
• Electronic release mechanism
The cone penetrometer apparatus is used to determine the moisture
content at which clay soils pass from a plastic to a liquid state and it
is used also for the determination of undrained shear strength .
The penetrometer has a cast iron base with leveling screws, digital
penetration measurement gauge 0.01 mm precision, release button and
automatic zeroing. It is provided with lead screw gear arrangement,
Leveling screws, Spirit level. The head can be clamped at any desired
height. A rack and pinion and pointer assemble provides fine adjustment
of the cone tip to sample. It incorporates a clutch mechanism which
makes reading of penetration and subsequent resetting a simple and
accurate operation.
The semi-automatic model is complete with automatic controller, which
automatically releases the plunger by a magnetic device, complete with
micrometer vertical adjustment and adjustable electronic timer of the
fall time. The electronic timer allows the user to set up and read the
fall time of the needle during testing.
Penetration cones and sample cups has to be ordered separately.
• Weight approx.: 8.5 kg
