The Hammer falls through the tube when released and strikes the surface under test, decelerating at a rate determined by the stiffness of the material within the region of impact. The readout registers the hardness values in units of Gravities (G). Harder surfaces will have a higher G reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDesign:-\u003c\/b\u003e The Clegg Impact Hammer Soil Tester is a very rugged design suitable for prolonged use in damp, dirty and harsh site environments. The CIST\/883 readout unit is made from high strength alloy that has been proven to last for decades. The CIST\/883 Clegg Impact Soil Tester is a compact and reliable instrument. A Transit \u0026amp; Storage Case is included. The Clegg Impact Hammer with GPS also features automatic GPS measurements to provide latitude and longitude location information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTest Procedure:-\u003c\/b\u003e Carrying out a test is quick and straightforward. The guide tube is placed in position vertically on the surface to be tested. The digital readout is located on the guide tube during testing allowing easy use as there is no need to hold the readout in the hand. The hammer is raised to the desired height and then allowed to fall freely. This procedure is repeated three times. The reading achieved on the third drop being recorded as the measurement value. The test data is recorded in the instrument and it is downloadable to a computer wirelessly by Bluetooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures of the Clegg Impact Hammer Soil Tester Type With GPS for Winter Sports, Cricket and Equestrian\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable cellpadding=\"5\" cellspacing=\"2\" border=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-1\"\u003eHammer Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"g-css-ignore column-2\"\u003e2.25 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-1\"\u003eReadout Display\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-2\"\u003eEasy to view backlit vertical display clamped to Guide Tube.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-1\"\u003eReadout Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-2\"\u003eUp to 800 Gravities (G)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-1\"\u003ePower Source\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-2\"\u003eTwo 'C' cells. 12 month typical battery life.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-1\"\u003eBattery Life\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-2\"\u003eUp to 12 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-1\"\u003eData Storage in Readout\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"column-2\"\u003eFlash memory for ~10,000 drop tests.
