SOIL PENETROMETER

Domain	Definition
Mining	A sounding instrument, which may be used to supplement the vane test. It consists essentially of a rod inside a tube. When the appliance is mechanically jacked into the ground, the point or cone of the rod records all differences in resistance to penetration. It thus determines quickly the soil strength profile in depth and detects any soft beds in advance ofthe vane tests. See also:penetration log. (references)
