SACP - Soil Assessment Cone Penetrometer A2451 Mexe-Cone

The Soil Assessment Cone Penetrometer (SACP or MEXE-CONE) is a lightweight instrument for rapidly measuring indepth resistance to penetration, indicating with a dial, in terms of California Bearing Ratio (CBR). Developed in conjunction with the UK Ministry of Defence, the SACP is a robust and reliable instrument used throughout the world by both commercial and military establishments.

Features

Measurement range for CBR is from 0-15% CBR
Soil trafficability measurements can be made using the Cone Index (CI) range
The linear CI range is from 0-300 and has 60 divisions, each of 11.12 N (1.13 kgf). Full deflection is 667 N (67.9 kgf)
Steady penetration of the cone into the soil is required and readings are taken from the dial at 75 mm (3”) intervals during penetration to a maximum depth of 600 mm (24”)
In fine-grained soils, for which the SACP is primarily intended, measurements correlate closely with CBR values, measured in-situ with conventional equipment
The SACP is supplied complete with carrying case, which contains one CBR cone, one CI cone, one top rod, three extension rods (150mm each), tools and operating instructions
Weight (including case) 2.5Kgs
