Penetrometer with integrated data logger and LCD display for in situ measurement of the resistance to penetration of the soil. Continuous measurements can be made with the penetrologger recording each layer of the ground profile up to 80 cm on the chart. An electronic penetrometer for storage and processing of a great number of measuring data (500).

Automatic calculation of average values and standard deviation.

Measuring variable:

The resistance to penetration is a means of determining the ground load-bearing capacity, and the ease with which roots will grow through the ground. The resistance to penetration is a mechanical characteristic that, given a certain texture, depends on changing parameters such as degree of humidity, density an dthe strength of the connection between mineral particles.

Standard set: 

Aluminium carrying case, probing rods, various cones,   a bag of tools, PC-software, a battery charger, connecting cable to a PC
