Mild Steel Or Stainless Steel Cone Penetrometer

The Liquid Limit & Penetration Apparatus is designed for soil mechanics and construction material testing, providing precise measurement of liquid limit of soils or consistency of mortars. It features a movable bearing rod with a conical tip, which penetrates the sample at a controlled rate. The penetration depth is measured using a dial indicator, giving accurate and repeatable results.

Constructed from mild steel or stainless steel, the apparatus is durable, corrosion-resistant, and suitable for long-term laboratory use. The conical container holds the sample securely during testing, and the device’s manual operation allows simple, reliable testing without dependency on external power sources.
