This test is used to measure the insitu penetration resistance of soils by means of a dynamic cone penetrometer. It is limited to use in fine grained materials. The results may be used to estimate the field California bearing ratio (CBR) of cohesive soils. Dynamic cone penetrometer – complying with the essential dimensions and masses given in AS1289.6.3.2 Penetration Resistance with the 9kg Dynamic Cone Graduations in ‘mm’ The OHS model differs by the hammer’s components being internal so it minimizes the chance of fingers being pinched.
