A cone penetrometer consists of a proving ring attached by rod to a steel cone. Test is performed by pushing the assembly into the ground and recording the dial gauge reading. The reading is then converted into a pressure called the cone index. Cone indices can be correlated to California bearing ratio test results. 4, record 1, English, - cone%20index

Le pénétromètre Meurisse. [...] Le fonçage s’effectue à l'aide d’un vérin hydraulique qui agit, soit sur la tige interne seule, soit simultanément sur la tige externe et le fourreau. Ce dispositif permet de mesurer séparément la résistance à la pénétration de la pointe et la résistance due au frottement latéral total. 1, record 1, French, - indice%20de%20r%C3%A9sistance%20%C3%A0%20la%20p%C3%A9n%C3%A9tration%20de%20la%20pointe
