About This Product
The cone drop test shows how well a geosynthetic or geotextile resists damage from a falling sharp object. The sample is clamped, a cone is dropped on it, and the diameter of the resulting hole is measured with the graduated conical measure. The smaller the hole, the greater the resistance of the material to damage. Used together with direct tensile test results, it gives a convenient way of comparing materials qualitatively.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How is the cone drop test carried out?
The geosynthetic or geotextile is clamped to give a clear diameter of 150 mm, and a brass cone with a 45 degree included angle and a weight of 1 kg is dropped through a height of 500 mm. The diameter of the resulting hole is then measured.
Q2. How are the results read?
The smaller the hole, the greater the resistance of the geosynthetic or geotextile to damage. The hole diameter is measured with a graduated conical device.
