Humboldt’s voluvessel is designed with a plastic cylinder, which screws into the density plate with the pump assembly mounted on top. Both voluvessels include a pressure-vacuum pump assembly, pres- sure gauge, quick-coupler valve, double-grad- uated cylinder, 10 balloons and a density plate. Voluvessels are not suitable for soft soils that deform under a slight pressure or where the vol- ume of the hole cannot be maintained at a con- stant value. The Voluvessels are individually cali- brated before leaving the factory to ensure direct readings on the scale are accurate without the need for calculations. H-4166 is used with max.- sized soil particles of 0.5" (13mm) and H-4167 is used with max.-sized soil particles of 1" (25mm).

DMDCPs are primarily used to determine in-place soil shear strength in road construction with CBR values from less than 0.5 to 100% and bearing values ranging from 430 to 10,800 psf. They can readily be used for depths from 30 inches to 6 foot with optional drive rods and extensions. All Humboldt DMDCPs comply with ASTM D6951 specifica- tions and come with a chart in the manual to com- pute CBR values, as well as an internet link to an Excel spreadsheet template, which automatically charts the test results. Humboldt’s DMDCPs are known for their high quality manufacturing and reliability, and, are available with either threaded connections or a quick-connect design. Both Humboldt DMDCPs feature our exclusive easy-grip hammer that pro- vides a finger grip machined into the back side of the hammer flange, which provides easy, non-slip lifting when performing a test. Humboldt DMDCPs consist of a drive hammer and steel extension shaft assembly with a 60° hard- ened cone tip attached at one end. The cone tip is driven into the pavement or sub grade by means of a sliding dual-mass hammer. The diameter at the base of the cone is 20 millimeters, which is 8 millimeters larger than that of the extension shaft. Hammer weight is 17.7 lbs and the hammer drop distance is 22.6" (574mm). Humboldt DMDCPs can also quickly convert to a single-mass unit for use in weaker soils having low CBR values or foundation evaluations by removing the outer sleeve from the dual-mass hammer.

(12kg) Foundation, Single-Mass DCP, Quick-Connect The H-4220F single-mass (10.1 lbs.), foundation DCP is used to estimate the shear strength of weak soil with a CBR less than 20 and psf less than 4000. It can be used to assess the in-place strength of undisturbed soil and/or compacted materials. It can also be used to estimate the CBR (California bearing ratio), shear strength and thickness of the material. The H-4220F is ideal for horizontal construction applications, such as shal- low foundations, footings and pavement shoul- ders. Typically it is used to assess material proper- ties to a depth of 36" (914 mm) below the surface. Also, with the use of 24" extensions this depth can be increased to 6 ft. (2m). The H-4220F comes with a 37.75" drive rod that is marked in 2" increments; a single-mass, 10.1 lb (4.5kg), sliding hammer and a reusable, hard- ened point. The drive rod and hammer are con- nected with a quick-connect pin. The Hammer drop is 22.6" (575mm) with a tolerance of 0.039in. (1.0mm). The hardened point has a 60° angle with a tolerance of 1°.

The DCP can be used effectively in augered holes in nearly all types of soils to depths of 15 to 20 ft. (4.6 to 6.1m). Components are zinc-plated and cones are heat-treated. The cone can be replaced with a Drive Tube Assembly (H-4202.7A) for col- lection of 3" x 10" (7.6 x 25.4 cm) tube samples from hand-augered holes. This penetrometer is used to determine a pene- tration resistance relationship with the standard penetration resistance of virgin soils. As with all field tools used in foundation evaluations, this method should never be used as the sole means for determining foundation conditions. It should be used in conjunction with previously established field and laboratory data, such as the split-spoon standard penetration test, density, shear strength or consolidation data. The H-4202A set includes; (1) standard ham- mer assembly (H-4202.1), (1) heat-treated 45° cone penetrometer point with a 1 ft. adapter rod (H-4202.3), (4) 2.5 ft.

The DSCP can be used to evaluate soil consistency by deter- mining the soil’s level of compaction and/or the bearing capacity. The DSCP is especially useful in evaluating shallow foundations and pavement sub-grades where fine-grained and soft soils are being used. The DSCP can also be used to aid technicians in quickly selecting sites for testing, as well as correlating with other tests, based on local conditions, such as standard or modified Proctor, CBR or bearing capacity. The DSCP uses a dual- rod design, which eliminates the need to correct for soil friction on the rod as the cone is pushed through the material. Penetration resistance is read directly from the cone tip and registered on the digital display. The unit comes with a 30" starter rod and a 60° cone with a 1.5cm 2 area and reads in lbs., TSF or kg/cm 2 . Digital Static Cone PenetrometerHS-4210 Ship wt. 9lbs.
