Limites du test du bâton. [...] Ce test ne détecte que les couches suffisamment épaisses. Une couche fragile mince (ce qui est souvent le cas) passe inaperçue. Il ne détecte que les variations relativement importantes de dureté. [...] Il ne permet pas de traverser une couche très dure, et donc de savoir ce qu'il y a dessous. Il ne permet de «sonder» que sur une épaisseur généralement réduite, de cinquante centimètres à un mètre. 2, record 1, French, - sonder
