E-280 Pocket Penetrometer

The AMS pocket penetrometer provides accurate measurements of the compressive soil strength.

• 6-1/4in unit is spring-operated
  
• Measures strength in tons/sq. ft. or kg/sq. cm by pushing a 1/4in diameter loading piston into soil to a depth of 0.25in
  
• The end area is 0.05in
  
• Compressive load is indicated by reading a scale on the piston barrel
  
• Made of anodized aluminum
  
• Allen wrench and plastic carrying case with belt loop are included

A pocket penetrometer is required by OSHA on all excavation jobs, and it can help protect you from costly lawsuits and construction delays.
