Features
- Bulk soil / pore water electrical resistivity/conductivity measurements with all CPTu / SCPTu advantages
- Dipole or ring electrode configurations
- Polynomial calibration over a wide range of resistivities/conductivities (salt water - dry soil)
- Soil resistivity/conductivity is a function of soil type, void ratio, saturation, and pore water chemistry
Specifications
- Resistivity/Conductivity module has 15 cm2 cross-sectional area
- Rapidly connects to all ConeTec 15 cm2 cones
- Resistivity/Conductivity measurement located 0.80 m behind CPTu tip
- Can be deployed with or without the CPTu / SCPTu probe attached
ADvantages
- Determine soil / water resistivity/conductivity while collecting all other CPTu / SCPTu parameters
- Rapid and economical
- Minimally invasive with no soil cuttings
- Continuous profile of resistivity/conductivity
Applications
- Corrosion protection design
- Salt water infiltration
- Contaminant detection
- Degree of saturation evaluation
