The SoilSaber is the first digital dual hand soil penetrometer and vane device (SoilSaber – “to know soil”).
Designed by engineers with extensive experience in geotechnical and materials testing.
Advantages of SoilSaber over other existing tools
• Reduced reading errors over analog dials and scales
• Reduced conversion errors – get your preferred units direct from the device
• T-handle design allows more control during the test
• No spring movement allows more control. This is very significant in vane testing as rotating the spring up to 360° and maintaining the blade in the proper position requires a skillful operator.
• The unit is calibrated from the factory. The SoilSaber typically measures within a few grams over the full range while analog units can be ±385 grams at full scale.
• A function check of the unit can be quickly performed by verifying the weight of a known weight.
• Results that are consistent and reliable provide more confidence when applied to the design process.
