CA 2470530

A soil or snow probe which incorporates a load cell in the probe head and also an accelerometer so that a vertical strength profile of the snow or soil can be established. The device does not need to be driven at a constant speed and can be manually driven into the soil or snow. The resistance to penetration is measured using a load cell which incorporates a low duro polymer selected for its ability to behave like a non compressible fluid. The device is portable and provides data quickly.

L'invention concerne une sonde de sol ou de neige contenant une cellule de mesure dans la tête de sonde, ainsi qu'un accéléromètre de sorte qu'un profil de la force verticale de la neige ou du sol puisse être établi. Le dispositif n'a pas besoin d'être placé à une vitesse constante dans le sol ou dans la neige et peut l'être manuellement. La résistance de pénétration est mesurée au moyen de la cellule de mesure qui contient un polymère faiblement thermodurcissable choisi pour son aptitude à se comporter comme un fluide non compressible. Le dispositif de l'invention est portatif et fournit rapidement des données.
