Vibrocorer Penetration Sensor
For use with any Vibrocorer system
The Vibrocorer Penetration Sensing System is a sealed electronic based unit incorporating a spring-loaded retractable stainless steel cord attached to a distance measuring sensor. As the vibrocorer drives itself into the ground it pulls out the stainless steel cord, operating the distance sensor. When the vibrocorer is pulled back in to the deployment frame, the internal spring loaded mechanism retracts the cord back in to the housing.

- Penetration Depth
- Penetration Velocity

The software can display either the realtime data in numerical form or as a graph of Penetration / Time.
