Specification
Cone penetrometers are used to determine the moisture content at which clay soils pass from a plastic to a liquid state (the liquid
limit).
The equipment is used to determine liquid and plastic limits of soil, thus to provide reliable data to classify soil types, calculate natural consistency and plasticity index.
Digital display technology is adopted for this machine and automatical measurement can be performed.
Types of index tests include:
Liquid limit
Cone penetrometer
and Casagrande methods
Shrinkage limit and
Linear shrinkage
Plastic limit
