Spring loaded penetrometer is used to measure the soil compressive strength by pushing the ground and polished 1/4" diameter loading pistons into the soil to a depth of 0.25". The edge area is .12.7 sq. Compression load (tons per square foot or kg/square centimeter) is indicated by the piston barrel scale. The maximum reading range is shown on the friction ring.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm looking for options to test "leaf toughness" and was wondering if this penetrometer could work for this purpose?**
A: I would not recommend using this for leaf toughness analysis.  This is for field testing/typing spoil (normally for excavation in the construction industry).

**Q: How can I obtain the softer soil adapter plate?**
A: yes

**Q: Will it work for fruits too?? and What´s the scale range? thanks**
A: It would not be accurate with fruit because of the thickness and hardness of the skin. It could give you the hardness of the skin for whatever value that may be but would not tell you the ripeness of the flesh of the fruit.

**Q: will this work on butters?**
A: No
Thanks
