<p>The dynamic pyrotechnical penetrometer determines soil characteristics by using the pressure created by a pyrotechnical gas generator to drive a probe rod (1) into the ground, with continuous detection and measurement of penetration. A standard probe rod mounted on a piston (2) containing a magnet (3) is placed in a solenoid-equipped amagnetic tube. A recoiling mass (4) which balances the amount of rod movement created by the gas from a pyrogenerator (5) contained in said recoiling mass, is then also placed in said tube. A unit for acquiring and processing the movement data of the standard rod calculates the resistance of the ground in response to the insertion of the rod.</p> |
