The handheld Automated Scala Penetrometer provides a modern solution for geotechnical field testing, particularly in determining the California Bearing Ratio (CBR). The tool automates weight lifting and releasing tasks, ensuring consistent drop height and eliminating the variability associated with manual operation.
A motor-driven threaded rod raises the weight, which is released from a predefined height to drop onto a hammer that drives a rod into the ground. The tool’s advanced electronics allows for recording penetration depth and the number of blows required to achieve it. This tool is compact, lightweight, and easy to operate in remote locations, making it highly suitable for field professionals conducting soil strength assessments.
