Pocket penetrometers are used to provide accurate measurements of compressive soil strength, based on OSHA cohesive soil classification. This hand penetrometer is designed to measure consistency, shear strength and approximate unconfined shear strength. It has a direct-reading scale that offers readings in tons/sq.ft or kg/sq.cm.

A penetrometer, also known as a soil compaction tester, is a diagnostic tool used to determine the extent and depth of subsurface compaction. This tool can assist in determining whether subsoiling is beneficial and how deep the subsoiler should be set.
There are no calibration certificates with pocket penetrometers since they are not individually calibrated. With AMS G 281, errors up to 1/2 division on the scale (equivalent to 0 to 0.124 TSF) are possible.
