Determining the load-bearing capacity of a soil is extremely important, when you need to know the ease of root penetration for agricultural and cultivation purposes or when designing foundations for civil engineering works (building work, laying runways, the design of roads, etc.). The bearing capacity or penetration resistance of soil is the maximum average contact pressure between the foundation and the soil which will not produce shear failure in the soil.
A comprehensive and complete kit includes a measuring instrument with a dial gauge, a tool set; Cone check to inspect the wear of the cones, a calibration certificate; instruction manual and all is placed in a rugged aluminum carrying case.
