NEW CPT Cone Diameter Now Available: NOVA15


New NOVA15 provides larger CPT cone diameter

New NOVA15 provides larger CPT cone diameter

We’re now your source for 10cm2 or 15cm2 cones (probes) for your cone penetration testing (CPT) projects. Pushing a larger CPT cone diameter can provide advantages, depending on the soils you are pushing in.

• Increased diameter to 44 mm (1.73 inch) improves overall strength and durability
• Reduced rod friction has been reported to yield greater depths in fine-grain soils and clay material

“One customer reports side-by-side comparison where they pushed a 10cm2 NOVA to 85 feet, then offset to push NOVA15 to 105 feet through restricting clay soils that generated too much rod friction for the smaller 10cm2 NOVA cone,” Troy Schmidt, CPT specialist, said.
