rotary pressure sounding Explanation: "2.9.3 Rotary pressure sounding Rotary-pressure sounding is a Norwegian method developed in the 1960’s (see Statens vegvesen, 1997). It uses a twisted tip and it is manufactured from a steel bar with a rectangular cross-section of 25 x 41 mm, which is twisted and then shaped into a conical tip at the lower end. One of the outer ridges of this screw is supplied with an extra hard welded top; see figure 4(a) the length of the tip is 225 mm and the projection of the cross-section has a diameter of 55 mm. The tip is attached to φ 36 mm sounding rods and pushed down into the soil at a rate of 3 ± 0.5 m/min while rotating at 25 ± 5 rpm. The drill rig shall provide a pushing force of at least 30 kN and a torque of about 1 kNm. Rotary pressure sounding was extensively used in Norway up to about 1990. Thereafter it has been gradually replaced by the now predominant total sounding method" Reference: http://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:660426/FULLTEXT01...
