Used to load the penetration piston into the soil sample at a constant rate of 1,27 mm/min (1 mm/min to BS Spec.), and to measure the applied loads and piston’s penetrations at determined intervals.

Matest proposes a wide range of machines: hand operated, motorized, dual speed, universal multispeed; load measurement by load ring, or by electric load cell and digital unit with X/Y graphic recorder of load/penetration through RS 232 port to PC.
