22 mm penetrometer systems provide a proven solution for in situ ground investigation and soil characterisation. Engineers widely use these systems to perform dynamic penetration tests and obtain reliable data quickly. Their design follows the EN ISO 22476-2 standard, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and regulatory compliance across European projects.

Thanks to their modular structure, these penetrometer systems adapt easily to different site conditions. They support both preliminary ground surveys and more detailed geotechnical investigations. Field operators benefit from simple assembly, controlled energy transfer, and clear depth measurement during testing.

A complete 22 mm penetrometer offer

The 22 mm penetrometric range includes all essential drilling and testing components required for efficient site work. Each element contributes to reliable results and smooth operation during penetration testing.

The standard equipment includes:

• 22 mm conical rod, graduated every 100 mm for precise penetration tracking
• 22 mm M16 rod, compatible with standard threaded connections
• M16 coupling, ensuring strong and secure rod assembly
• Lost cone, suitable for soft to medium soil conditions

This complete configuration improves energy transmission during hammer blows and enhances the interpretation of penetrometer results on site.

Compliance with standards and manufacturing quality

All components of the 22 mm penetrometer system comply fully with EN ISO 22476-2, the reference standard for dynamic penetration testing. This compliance guarantees reliable measurements and ensures acceptance within professional geotechnical reports.

High-quality steel improves durability and resistance under repeated impacts. Clear rod graduations help operators read penetration depth accurately during each test. On request, rods can also be graduated every 200 mm to suit specific project requirements.

Optional manual 22 mm penetrometer kit

A complete manual 22 mm penetrometer kit is available on request for flexible site operations. This solution suits remote locations or projects with limited mechanical access. It allows teams to perform penetrometer tests independently while maintaining high measurement accuracy.

The manual kit typically includes:

• A lightweight penetrometer designed for 22 mm rods
• A 10 kg drop hammer for controlled impact energy
• An anvil, striking head, and required connecting components

This configuration ensures fast deployment and reliable testing performance in varied field conditions.

Why Choose a 22 mm Penetrometer System?

The 22 mm diameter offers an excellent balance between handling comfort and mechanical efficiency. Engineers frequently select this penetrometer size for:

• Preliminary ground investigations
• Soil bearing capacity assessments
• Routine site verification and control testing

Its versatility makes the 22 mm penetrometer a trusted tool for geotechnical consultants and civil engineering contractors seeking accuracy, compliance, and durability. We also offer penetrometric system 32mm.
