Penetrometer

The Penetrometer is a gravity operated instrument used to determine soil compaction. The Penetrometer is calibrated in percentages to determine the need for Aerification and to monitor soil conditions. It is also helpful on golf courses to determine if playability is uniform in firmness from green to green. On athletic fields the Penetrometer is used to determine field firmness for footing and also for player safety.

The Penetrometer is a professional instrument to determine soil compaction.

The Penetrometer is a necessary tool to help determine problems before they become visually apparent. It is useful in determining when to Aerify an area and also assess an area for potential problems.

The Penetrometer is useful in determining how golf balls will react when they land on an approach or golf green.

It is also useful in sports turf applications to insure the field is soft enough to prevent athletes injuries.

Penetrometer shows the amount of pore space within the soil in quarter point percentages. The new and improved Penetrometer shows compaction in percentages with new calibration lines. (.25% increments) Features:

Use the Penetrometer to determine soil compaction in percentages of pore space within the soil profile.

On Golf Greens the Penetrometer is helpful in determining if playability is uniform in firmness from green to green.

On athletic fields, the Penetrometer will show how hard the soil is to gauge player safety and also footing. It can prevent player injury by allowing sports turf manager to keep fields in playable conditions year round.

It is the most widely used tool for determining when to Aerify a turfgrass area in the world.
