Dynamic Cone Penetrometers

Dynamic Cone Penetrometers – In-Situ Soil Testing Systems

Qualitest’s QualiDCP Series delivers a comprehensive line of Dynamic Cone Penetrometers (DCPs) engineered for fast, accurate, and portable in-situ soil strength and compaction testing. These systems are built to meet the performance and procedural requirements of major international standards, including ASTM D6951, ISO 22476-2, and DIN 4094-3.

From manual to pneumatic and motor-driven models, our DCP solutions are suitable for a wide range of geotechnical applications—whether you’re evaluating subgrade conditions for road construction, checking compaction quality on-site, or conducting shallow soil investigations in civil engineering projects.

Applications:

• Soil bearing capacity evaluation
• Subgrade strength profiling
• Pavement design and quality control
• Soil compaction verification
• Road, embankment, and foundation investigations
• Geotechnical surveys in remote or urban environments

Explore the QualiDCP Series:

• QualiDCP-C – Standard Dynamic Cone Penetrometer: Reliable and easy-to-use system for general-purpose soil testing, compaction verification, and site surveys.
• QualiDCP-B – Manual Dynamic Penetrometer: Lightweight, portable, and ideal for basic geotechnical assessments in locations with limited accessibility.
• QualiDCP-P – Pneumatic Dynamic Penetrometer: Offers consistent energy transfer via compressed air, improving repeatability and efficiency for mid-scale testing.
• QualiDCP-D – Motor-Driven Dynamic Penetrometer (Heavy-Duty): Designed for deeper penetration and high-frequency use, this model is ideal for large infrastructure or roadwork projects.
• QualiDCP-AS – Compact Motor-Driven Dynamic Penetrometer: Compact, powerful, and maneuverable—perfect for urban construction sites or mobile field labs.

Key Benefits:

• Accurate and repeatable penetration resistance measurements
• Suitable for DPL, DPM, DPH, DPSH and SPT-type dynamic probing
• Field-ready systems with minimal setup
• Compatible with GPS or depth recording for digital data logging
• Engineered for rugged conditions and all soil types

Choose the QualiDCP Series from Qualitest for a globally trusted, standards-compliant solution to in-situ soil testing. Whether you’re working under ASTM, ISO, or DIN protocols, our dynamic cone penetrometers provide the reliability and precision your projects demand.
