10cm² 10 Ton Digital Cone Penetrometer for CPT Push
10cm² 10 Ton Digital Cone Penetrometer for CPT Push
Available in 2.5 Ton, 5 Ton, and 10 Ton Configurations
Rugged and Reliable 10 Ton CPT Push:
VERTEK's Digital Cones provide simple, easy-to-use CPT measurements in a compact and rugged system. Since analog-to-digital conversion is preformed downhole, the bulkiness of cabling and uphole electronics are reduced, and noise problems associated with cable length and low voltage signals of analog systems are eliminated.
VERTEK's rugged 10 conductor cable with LEMO type connectors ensures reliable data transmission with each penetration test. The VTK Series 10cm2 Digital Cone has recently been redesigned with improved strength and ease of maintenance.
Industry Leading CPT Push Performance:
By decoupling the tip and sleeve load cells and sensing each independently, VERTEK digital cones provide higher load capacity and better resolution than industry standards. Accurate temperature compensation assures reliable performance in soft soils.
Simple, Easy-to-Use Operation:
Data collected down-hole is transmitted in ASCII format providing complete compatibility with commercially available laptops through the VERTEK DataPack 2000 or new DataPack 2010. Sensor specific data (calibration factors, serial numbers and sensor type) are stored in each sensor module in the cone, and are automatically transmitted to the DataPack with each penetration so a technician can operate the system with minimal training.
Multi-Sensor Efficiency:
The VERTEK 10 cm² Digital Cone meets the ASTM standards (2.5 Ton, 5 Ton and 10 Ton configurations available). The digital design allows configuration of multiple digital sensors. Vertek's 10 cm² Digital Cone Penetrometers come standard with tip, sleeve, pore pressure and inclination sensors. Sensor options include: temperature and seismics. Optional add-on modules include: resistivity, soil moisture, fuel fluorescence detector and video.
