CONT

Cone Penetrometer Testing (CPT) is performed by hydraulically advancing penetrometer rod into the ground while collecting real-time data. The data collected via downhole instrumentation represents the soil responses (as the rod is advanced) in relation to tip resistance, friction sleeve resistance, pore pressures and electrical resistivity.

OBS

The most widely used static penetrometer is the "Dutch Cone" ....with this equipment, the point resistance and the friction on the outside of the casing can each be measured. In a further modification the friction is measured on a separate sleeve of limited length, located just above the point.
