Made of aluminum and zinc-plated steel, the Turf-Tec Soil Penetrometer is a durable and reliable instrument for monitoring soil compaction or the hardness/firmness of the surface. This device is essential for determining when to aerify an area and assess other potential problems in turfgrass on golf courses, pathways, sports fields, and other constructions.
This easy to use Turf-Tec soil penetrometer works by dropping the calibrated shaft from a known height with its 0.25" blunt point, penetrating the soil and showing the surface hardness on the scale. The scale is calibrated to read from 0% to 100% compaction and shows the amount of pore space within .25% increments.
Avoid construction fails and injuries with proper soil compaction monitoring by Turf-Tec. Measuring 48 inches in height, this gravity-operated instrument produces immediate readings and is covered with a 1-year limited warranty for peace of mind.
