Couldn't load pickup availability
Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) with worldwide expedited shipping — ASTM D6951 / D7380 compliant field geotechnical kit for rapid in-situ soil strength assessment. Measures pavement + subgrade + subbase soil strength by counting hammer blows required to drive the 60° cone tip through the soil layer. Results correlate to California Bearing Ratio (CBR), soil bearing capacity, and pavement compaction quality. 8 kg drop hammer with 575mm drop height, 20mm base diameter 60° cone tip, 1m graduated drive rod (extendable). Complete wooden field carry box. Made in India, shipped worldwide via express courier. $2,900 direct — with faster international delivery than the $2,999 standard variant.

FAQ
What's the difference between this variant and the $2,999 standard version?
This variant ($2,900) ships via expedited worldwide courier — faster international delivery (5-10 days UK/USA/Asia). The standard variant ($2,999) ships via standard freight (may take longer internationally, particularly outside the US). If you're a US buyer, either works — international buyers with tight timelines should choose this variant.
Does this meet ASTM D6951 specifications?
Yes — 8 kg drop hammer + 575 mm drop height + 60° cone tip + 20 mm base diameter all match ASTM D6951 standard. Test results are directly comparable to DCP data collected on Vertek, Kessler, or other ASTM D6951-compliant units.
What's the DCP Index → CBR conversion?
ASTM D6951 correlation: log(CBR) = 2.465 - 1.12 × log(DCP Index in mm/blow). Alternative Kleyn / Van Heerden formulas available for specific soil types.
How is this shipped?
Worldwide expedited courier. UK/USA/Asia: 5-10 days. Europe: 7-12 days. Rest of World: 15-30 days. Customs duties + destination taxes are buyer responsibility (contact us for DDP terms if needed).
