Motor operated dynamic penetrometer DCP

    The machine is designed to perform mechanical resistance tests on soils.

    The test consists of letting a 20 kg hammer (or 30 kg) drop freely for 20 cm on rods diameter 22 mm, which push a conical standard point into the ground. Recording the number of blows necessary to make the point penetrate each 10 cm into the ground itself.
