The dynamic penetrometer test consists of driving a conical tip with standardized dimensions and characteristics into the ground by hammer blows, measuring the number of blows required for its advancement (in accordance with the type of dynamic standard applied).
Dynamic penetrometer tests (DP) are widely used by geologists and geotechnical engineers due to their extreme ease of execution, cost-effectiveness, rapid execution, and the ability to obtain data even in coarse-grained soils.
The average calculated efficiency of 78% allows normalization of the N20 value, facilitating correlations with data obtained from other in-situ tests, particularly with the NSPT.
Pagani Geotechnical Equipment provides all the necessary accessories (cones, rods, hammers) for conducting the various dynamic tests.
