Field Inspection Testing Kit.
Specification:
Ideal for geotechnicians, geologists and agronomists. It
consists of the 0163 Pocket penetrometer and of the 0174 Field
inspection pocket vane tester.
• 0163 Heavy duty model, all stainless steel construction, three interchangeable tips:
4.5 mm dia. for very hard soil,
6.35 mm for medium and soft soil,
8.98 mm for soft soil. Supplied complete with plastic case.
• 0174 for field surface and deeper measures.
Especially designed to mesure the undrained shear strenght (CU) of
cohesive soils, consists of a cylindrical body with a torsional spring
and three interchangeable vanes of different sizes used depending upon
the expected strenght of the soil. The height/diameter ratio of all
vanes is 2. During operation the vane is driven for 5-6 cm into the soil

undisturbed samples) can be obtained using the extension rod ( see
