The high-precision penetrometer for soil testing can be used for field measurement of soil compaction. It has a built-in GPS positioning and depth measurement system, which can simultaneously display soil compaction, measurement depth, and geographical location. After connecting with a computer, it can automatically generate soil compaction curves for each measurement point and generate regional soil compaction distribution maps and related data links from multiple measurement points.
The software has storage and printing functions
- Regional soil compaction distribution maps can be generated from multiple measurement points, and related data links can be automatically generated.
- The digital penetrometer for soil testing has the functions of automatically capturing the peak soil compaction and backlight, green and environmentally friendly, and automatic shutdown.
- The soil hardness tester equipped with a data upload function: connected to a computer via RS232 interface, the software can automatically generate soil compaction curves for each measurement point.
Simple operation
- The digital penetrometer for soil testing will automatically shut down after 10 minutes without operating the monitor buttons.
- It can directly measure soil compaction, with a built-in GPS positioning and depth measurement system that can display the location information (latitude and longitude) of measurement points, measure depth and soil compaction, and can store the data sampled each time on the host at any time, up to 200 measurement points' data can be stored.
- Portable for outdoor use, with high precision and resolution, featuring simple operation, comprehensive functions, and easy portability.
Application
The digital penetrometer for soil testing is mainly used to measure the compactness of soil, to evaluate the influence of soil structure on crop root growth, water infiltration, and soil aeration. It is applied in the fields of agriculture, horticulture, and greening engineering, infrastructure and construction engineering, and teaching and education.

Q1: What is a digital penetrometer for soil testing, and what is it used for?
A1: A digital penetrometer is a device used to measure the resistance of soil to penetration. It provides accurate readings of soil compaction or hardness, which is essential for agricultural, geotechnical, and construction purposes. It helps determine if the soil is suitable for planting or building.
Q2: How does a digital soil penetrometer work?
A2: The device is pushed into the ground manually, and the penetration resistance is recorded through a digital sensor. The readings are displayed on an LCD screen, typically in units such as kg/cm², psi, or kPa.
Q3: What types of soil can be tested using this penetrometer?
A3: Most digital penetrometers are suitable for various soil types, including clay, loam, sand, and mixed soils. However, very rocky or extremely dry soil may affect penetration and accuracy.
Tips: What are the key features to look for in a digital penetrometer for soil testing?
When selecting a digital penetrometer for soil testing, especially for assessing soil compaction and strength, here are the key features to look for:
- Soil testing rugged Build: Shock-resistant and suitable for rough field conditions.
- Ergonomic Design: Comfortable to hold and apply steady pressure during testing.
- Portability: Lightweight with a carrying case for easy field transport.
- Factory Calibration: Prefer models that come pre-calibrated with a certificate.
- Field Calibration Option: Ability to recalibrate in the field ensures ongoing accuracy.
