Best Penetrometers Online

Measurement range & accuracy — Make sure the penetrometer covers the force/penetration depth range you need (e.g., up to several hundred kg/cm² or thousands of kPa) with good accuracy (± a few %). Agtec.com+1

Sensor type & automation — Digital models with data logging, depth measurement, and GPS integration (for field work) give better traceability.

Depth & cone/rod compatibility — For subgrade or pavement work, deeper insertion (e.g., up to 1 m or more) and interchangeable cones/tips matter.

Durability & field suitability — Device should be rugged for field use: stainless steel, aluminium alloy, hydraulic/steady read‑out under real conditions.

Data output & software support — Ability to export data (e.g., CSV), integrate with software for analysis, and store multiple readings.

Vendor support & calibration availability — For accurate measurement you’ll need calibration certificates, spare parts, and local support especially if importing.
