Ref. Standard BS 1377:9

The UTS-0095 TRL Dynamic Cone Penetrometer is used for the rapid, in situ measurement of structural properties of existing road pavement constructed with unbound materials.

The design of the DCP is similar to that described by Kleyn, Maree and Savage (1982); it incorporates an 8 kg weight dropping through a height of 575 mm and 60° cone having a diameter of 20 mm. with the standard DCP measurements can be made down to a depth of approximately 850 mm or when extension shafts are used to a recommended maximum depth of 2 m.

Readings are usually taken after a set number of blows, changing the number according to the strength of the layer being penetrated. A typical test takes only a few minutes, therefore the instrument provides a very efficient method of obtaining information that would normally require the digging of test pits.

The penetration hammer assembly consists of 8 kg hammer, hammer shaft, anvil with plastic plate coupling for ruler and handle.

Cone Penetrometer Method
Ref. Standard : IS:2720 (Part5), BS:1377
EKE 042-1:
Cone penetrometer method has several advantages over the casagrande method it is easier of perform this test and the results are not so depend on the design of the apparatus  or the judgment of the operator  it is applicable to a wider range of soils 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 the soils at liquid limit.

    Reduces operator error 
•    Applicable to a wide range of soils
•    Gives reproducible test results 
•    Provides direct measurement of Penetration
