The Liquid Limit Penetrometer is an essential instrument specifically for the evaluation of soil and materials to measure consistency through plastic limit test accurately. This device is used to determine the water content which when added to the clay soils lead to change of state from a plastic stage to a liquid stage known as liquid limit. The Liquid Limit Penetrometer is a very functional tool in the assessment of soil behavior and undrained shear strength that is an essential tool in geotechnical engineering and material science.

The penetration needle of the Liquid Limit Penetrometer is spun from stainless steel, while the spring and plunger of the gauge are made of Brass. It has Digital Penetration Measurement Scale and this gauge has 0. A minimum accuracy of 01 mm and well-suited luminosity for reading and determining right results. This is actually self-explanatory; the device has a lead screw gear arrangement accommodated by a spirit level, thus enabling very easy vertical adjustments. Further, if necessary the head can be clamped at any height above the table ata, rack and pinion and also an assembly with a pointer helps to fine the reposition the cone tip relative to the sample.

The Liquid Limit Penetrometer comes equipped with a clutch system that facilitates the reading of penetration and subsequent resetting to make it a relatively easy device to use. The enhanced functionality in the semi-automatic model includes an automatic controller that utilizes a magnetic device to release the plunger and has a micrometer vertical adjustment and an electronic timer. The above mentioned electronic timer enables the users to set, as well as read the fall time of the needle while conducting the test, which enhances precision and effectiveness.

Used for the identification of the point at which clay soils transform from a plastic to a liquid state, liquid limit penetrometer is suitable for laboratory testing which helps in the assessment of undrained shear strength in compliance with the CEN ISO/TS 17892-12. Use this equipment that’s called Liquid Limit Penetrometer for better and more accurate soil testing for your materials.
