The Panda® is a variable energy light-weight dynamic cone penetrometer.
It is used for compaction control and soil geotechnical investigation.
The test consists of driving a tip by manual beating to the desired depth using rods. The PANDA® dynamic penetrometer measures at each impact the variable hammering energy supplied to the system as well as the depth and instantly calculates the resistance of the soil qd.
The recorded penetrograms are immediately visible on the screen of the device on site and are then transferred and processed using the associated WEBSPRINT© software.
