DJ-2000 On-site Tester for Soil Compaction and Foundation Bearing Capacity (Proctor Penetration Tester)

The in-situ foundation bearing capacity tester was already incorporated into international standards in the 1970s, known as the pocket penetrometer. In 1994, it was adopted into China’s national codes and is primarily used in civil and industrial construction, as well as for roads, bridges, and water‑conservation infrastructure. It enables rapid, on‑site, in‑situ testing—such as post‑excavation trench inspection—to determine the soil penetration resistance (P value), the foundation bearing capacity (R value), the modulus of elasticity (Es), and the liquidity index. The instrument is easy to operate: simply drill a single hole at the test location, insert the device vertically, and begin testing.

Description


Product Introduction

The in-situ foundation bearing capacity tester was already incorporated into international standards in the 1970s, known as the pocket penetrometer. In 1994, it was adopted into China’s national codes and is primarily used in civil and industrial construction, as well as for roads, bridges, and water‑conservation infrastructure. It enables rapid, on‑site, in‑situ testing—such as post‑excavation trench inspection—to determine the soil’s penetration resistance (P‑value), bearing capacity (R‑value), modulus of elasticity (Es), and liquidity index. The instrument is easy to operate: simply drill a single hole at the test location, insert the device vertically, and begin testing. With reference to the user manual, operators can quickly become proficient. Its probing depth is 30 cm. Ideally, it should be employed to inspect fill materials layer by layer after compaction, making it suitable for quality‑inspection agencies and supervisory firms conducting random checks at any layer. Additionally, the probe rod can be extended upon request to a length of 1.5 meters.

Features:

1. LCD digital display, directly shows the measured value, with an interface for upgrades.

2. Soil sampling may be omitted, and the trench can be inspected directly on site.

3. In-situ testing, five disturbances.

4. It can perform tests for the compression modulus and the liquidity index.

5. Detection depth up to 30 cm, extendable to 1.5 meters.

6. Soil types to be tested: compacted backfill loam, clay, lime‑stabilized soil, sand, and mixed soil, as well as natural subgrade soil.

7. Scope of application: highways, railways, reservoirs, embankments, dams, and foundations for industrial and civil construction.

8. Measured media: soft soil, sludge, weathered soil, residual soil, general cohesive soil, fine and silty sand, old clay, old loess, and red clay.
