The Granit 1803200270 is a robust soil penetrometer designed for precise measurement of soil compaction. This essential tool helps identify compacted layers in the soil, which can hinder root growth and water infiltration. It features a pressure gauge with a measuring range of 0 to 600 PSI (0 to 60 bar) and a depth scale marked in inches and centimeters up to 24 inches (60 cm). The penetrometer comes with two interchangeable cones: a small cone (1/2 inch / 1.27 cm diameter) for firm soil and a large cone (3/4 inch / 1.9 cm diameter) for soft soil. Constructed from durable stainless steel, it ensures longevity and reliability in various field conditions. It is supplied in a practical carrying case for easy transport and storage.
