SOIL COMPACTION TESTER
The DICKEY-john® Soil Compaction Tester allows you to get the most from your fields. This cost-effective and user-friendly penetrometer-style compaction tester helps you easily identify density layers in the soil. By simply pushing the tester into the ground at different locations, this convenient, practical tool helps find problem areas that can inhibit root growth and reduce yields. Just check the gauge to find readings of the pressure required to penetrate your soil.
Features and Benefits:
- Easy-to-read gauge: Quickly find readings of the pressure required to penetrate your soil.
- Dual tip sizes included: Comes standard with two interchangeable tips for versatile soil testing.
- Multi-range calibration: The 1/2-inch tip tests from 0–600 psi (firm soil), while the 3/4-inch tip tests from 0–400 psi (soft soil).
- Depth measurement marks: Features regular depth grooves along the stainless steel rod to pinpoint exact compaction zones and hardpan depth.
- Durable construction: Rugged, molded housing with a liquid-filled, color-coded dial that reduces operational shock in the field.
