Identifying the most suitable tip for dynamic tests is governed by the standards to be followed; below is a summary table showing the type of tip based on the applicable standard:
| Description | Cone surface area | Cone angle | Thread | Standard | Penetrometer |
| 20 cm² retrievable tip, 90º angle, M22 | 20cm² | 90° | M22 | DPSH |
TG 63-100 Dynamic TG 63-100 Static-Dynamic TG 63-150 Static-Dynamic TG 63-200 Static-Dynamic TG 73-200 Static-Dynamic |
| 15 cm² retrievable tip, 90º angle | 15cm² | 90° | M22 | DPM / DPH | |
| 10 cm² retrievable tip, 60º angle, M14 | 10cm² | 60° | M14 | DPML | DPM 30-20 |
