Tests are ongoing with the new A.P. van den Berg deep sea CPT cone. We have developed this pressure-compensated cone to perform CPTs at water depths of 6,000 m, withstanding pressure of no less than 600 bar. To guarantee the measurement precision at this very high pressure we calibrate the deep sea cone at various pressures. The test results of the deep sea cone conform to the requirements of the ISO 22476 standard. Read more
