Mexe Probe to CBR Correlation
Mexe Probe to CBR Correlation
(OP)
Does anyone have a correlation between CBR and the Mexe-Probe or from Newtons to CBR? We have a SACP (Mexe-Probe) from CNS Farnell that has been calibrated but the calibration only gives us CBR vs Newtons.
Can anyone help?

HAving done some more checking yesterday I found reference to an Airfield Cone Penetrometer used by the US military. Is this the same as the SACP produced by CNS Farnell?
RE: Mexe Probe to CBR Correlation
Pocket pen: "bearing capacity" -> unconfined compressive strength
DCP: penetration resistance -> bearing capacity, bearing capacity -> CBR
I suspect the device's "calibration" is as good as it gets. After all, you only wanted an estimate, right?
