Cone Penetrometer Method : IS: 2720 (Part 5) – 1985 The test is based on the relationship between moisture content and the penetration of the cone into the soil sample. The moisture content at a given depth of penetration of the cone is taken as the liquid limit. As an inferential test, empirical correlations have been developed to assess the shear strength of soils at liquid limit. Reduces operator error Applicable to a wide range of soils Gives reproducible test results Provides direct measurement of penetration ML – 505 Cone Penetrometer, Automatic IS: 2720 (Part 5), IS: 11196 – 1985 Enables the determination of liquid limit simply and quickly. The unit is supplied complete with a stainless steel penetration test cone 35 mm long with a smooth polished surface and an angle of 30°. Facility exists for adjusting cone height in relation to the specimen. Cone Penetrometer consists of one each of the following: Automatic Timer Penetration Test Cone Penetration Test Cup, 55 mm dia x 40 mm deep ML – 505.1 Cone Penetrometer, IS: 2720 (Part 5), IS: 11196 - 1985, Cone Penetrometer consists of one each of the following: Penetration Test Cone Penetration Test Cup, 55 mm dia x 40 mm deep |
