and Hache, R.: 2015, Characterization of sensitive marine clays by using cone and ball penetrometers: example of clays in eastern Canada.
The potential of determining the soil profile near the top level of the seabed has given light penetrometer uniqueness over other typical methods of field-testing such as standard penetration method (cone penetration) and vane shear testing (Nader et al., 2015).
With the Series 100 Rotational
Penetrometer, the results received when testing playground surfaces correlate with the ASTM F 1951 standard.
For measuring soil horizontal resistance a horizontal
penetrometer was used (Fig.
At each sampling in each field, 10
penetrometer (Rimik Agricultural Electronics CP20 Cone
Penetrometer) readings were taken to a depth of 600 mm at random locations along a defined transect in each field.
Previous research with MoSCSSS has shown a correlation of improved stalk lodging resistance and increased rind
penetrometer resistance.
Osborne said: "The
penetrometer used to take the measurements was a slight modification of the version used in France.
Finally, changes in
penetrometer data between sampling dates was not reflected by differences in bulk density and saturated hydraulic conductivity.
More complicated soil cone
penetrometers that automatically record pressures and depth are easier for researchers to use.
Soil cone
penetrometer measurements must be carefully spaced to prevent interference with each other.
Stn., 1986) yielded MoSCSSS(H24-high rind
penetrometer [HRP])C10 and MoSCSSS(H25-low rind
penetrometer [LRP])C11, respectively.
The most commonly used device for measuring soil strength is the
penetrometer. Published critical limits for root growth are based upon it.
