## Overview

The AMS Pocket Penetration Meter is a handheld, lightweight tool designed to quickly estimate the compressive strength of cohesive soils in tons per square foot. OSHA-required for excavation safety, it features friction rings for max readings, comes with a belt loop carrying case and wrench, and is built from durable anodized aluminum for reliable field performance.

## Description

AMS Pocket Penetrometer quickly estimates unlimited compressive strength in cohesive soil. Pocket or hand penetrometer is widely used to check consistency and quickly estimate compression strength in the field, but should not be used as a substitute for laboratory testing or extensive field analysis. In addition, the hand penetrometer can accurately indicate the consistency of undistorted clumping soil core samples and approximate unlimited compression strength. 1/4" diameter loading pistons are pushed into the surface of the soil until the engraved mark is flush with the soil. Compression loads are indicated by reading the scale on the piston barrel, and friction rings indicate maximum reading value. Scale units are measured in tons/square meters. ft (kg/sq. cm) The Pocket Penetrometer is required by OSHA for every excavation job and helps protect you from costly lawsuits and construction delays. The special AMS 1" Pocket Penetrometer Adapter Foot is available as an option for use in low strength cohesive soils
