Handheld Soil Compaction Tester

SISCO-SCT-LDJSD3H

The handheld soil compaction tester is a portable, user-friendly device designed to measure the compaction level of soil quickly and accurately. It is widely used in agriculture, landscaping, and construction to evaluate soil conditions, ensuring optimal root growth, water absorption, and overall soil health.

Digital Soil Compaction Meter

SISCO-SCT-LDJSD4H

Soil compaction meter is the use of a soil solidity meter to measure the ability of soil to resist external deformation. When the probe of the soil compaction meter is pressed into the soil, the spring proportional to the resistance received by the probe will also be compressed accordingly, thereby measuring the compaction of the soil.

Soil Penetrometer Compaction Tester

SISCO-SCT-JSD4Y

The soil penetrometer compaction tester is equipped with a built-in GPS positioning and depth measurement system, which can simultaneously display soil compaction, measurement depth, and geographical location. When connected to a computer, it can automatically generate soil compaction curves for each measurement point and generate regional soil compaction distribution maps from multiple measurement points. It can also automatically generate relevant data links.

Digital Soil Penetrometer Compaction Tester

SISCO-SCT-JSD3

The digital soil penetrometer compaction tester is a soil moisture monitoring system composed of a handheld data collector and a compaction sensor. At the same time, it has the advantages of easy operation, convenient portability, and fast and reliable detection, making it unique in the field. It can be configured with GPS, GPRS data upload, and other functions according to user needs at the factory. The data in the device can also be connected to a computer through a USB data cable, and historical data can be exported to the computer for data analysis.

What is a Soil Compaction Tester?

A soil compaction tester, also known as a soil penetrometer, is a handheld or digital device used to measure the compaction level of soil. It helps determine whether the soil is too hard for plant roots to grow properly or whether it allows for optimal water infiltration and root development. This tool is widely used in agriculture, landscaping, construction, and environmental monitoring.

Why is Soil Compaction Important?

Soil compaction occurs when soil particles are pressed together, reducing pore space. This restricts root growth, limits water and air infiltration, and can severely reduce crop yields. Detecting compaction early allows for timely remediation through aeration, subsoiling, or changing traffic patterns in fields.

What are the key features of Soil Compaction Testers？

Stainless Steel Rod and Tip: Durable and corrosion-resistant for long-term use in various soil types.
Dual-Scale Pressure Gauge: Measures pressure in PSI or kPa to show compaction at different depths.
Depth Markings: Helps monitor compaction levels at various soil depths (commonly up to 24 inches).
Ergonomic Handle: Ensures comfortable use in the field.
Portable Design: Lightweight and easy to carry for on-site assessments.

How to Use a Soil Compaction Tester？

Select the test area: Choose representative locations in the field.
Insert the rod vertically into the soil: Apply steady pressure until reaching the desired depth.
Read the gauge: The resistance reading shows the degree of compaction.
Record readings at multiple depths and areas for accurate diagnosis.
