Penetrometer Sizes

The standard size of the cone penetrometer is 10-cm2 in cross sectional area (diameter d = 35.7 mm). Another common size is the 15-cm2 type (d = 44 mm). For special situations, Fugro of Holland has also developed larger (33 cm2) size for increased resolution in soft soils, as well as miniature piezocone penetrometers for small scaling and offshore applications (1-cm2 and 5-cm2).


Various sizes (1-, 5-, 10-, 15-, and 33-cm2) penetrometers
