The SISCO digital soil penetrometer compaction tester refers to the ability of soil to resist external forces, including compaction and fragmentation, and is one aspect of soil properties. In addition, soil physical properties include soil texture, structure, porosity, etc., which involve soil solidity, plasticity, permeability, drainage, water storage capacity, and the difficulty of root penetration.
Split design, easy to carry
- The host of the digital soil penetrometer compaction tester is separated from the probe, with a compact size, making it more convenient to carry and transport, and suitable for field operations.
- By using high-sensitivity pressure sensors, the soil compaction at different depths can be accurately measured, and the results are stable and reliable.
- It can achieve layered measurement (such as 0-10cm, 10-20cm, 20-30cm), comprehensively reflecting soil structure and compaction status.
Sturdy structure and strong adaptability
- The probe of the digital soil compaction tester is made of stainless steel material, which is corrosion-resistant and pressure-resistant, suitable for different types of soil environments, such as farmland, grassland, sandy land, etc.
- A single person can complete the operation without complex training, with fast measurement speed and improved work efficiency.
- Handheld soil penetrometer compaction tester equipped with a LCD display screen, real-time measurement data is displayed, intuitive operation, and convenient reading.
Application
The SISCO digital soil penetrometer 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 soil penetrometer compaction tester?
A1: A soil compaction meter is an instrument used to measure the degree of soil compaction, typically consisting of a probe, display unit, and handle. It adopts a split design, which is easy to carry and operate on site, and is widely used in fields such as agriculture, forestry, soil research, and engineering construction, making it easy to operate and read data.
Q2: Is the digital soil penetrometer compaction tester waterproof?
A2: Most soil hardness testers have a certain level of dust and water resistance (such as IP65), and can be used in humid or light rain environments. But it is not recommended to use it in the rain for a long time.
Q3: What is the difference between a split-type and an integrated soil compaction meter?
A3: Split type is more suitable for portability and maintenance. The integrated structure is more compact and suitable for indoor experiments. The functions are roughly the same, mainly depending on the usage scenario and personal preferences.
Tips: How to maintain and upkeep the digital soil penetrometer compaction tester?
- Clean the probe of the digital soil penetrometer compaction tester after each use to prevent soil from drying out.
- Store the digital soil compaction tester in a dry and ventilated place to prevent sensors from getting damp.
- Regularly calibrate it to ensure data accuracy.
- Avoid excessive force, and avoid bending or damaging the probe.
