SPT Test using a cone tip?
(OP)
Has anyone used this before? Is there an ASTM standard? What is the test called.
We used it at a site in South America. The same hammer, count the blows to penetrate the ground 15cm like the SPT but there was a solid cone at the tip instead of a SPT barrel.

The DCP that I have used and has been used my many departments of transportation in the US, is a manual device using a 15 lb hammer instead of the 140 lb SPT hammer.
