NOVA CPT (Cone Penetration Testing) The only CPT probe industry-wide that provides a constant stream of real- time data while you’re probing ... without a cord downhole. The only data transmission system of its kind. Operator does not have to manage data cable as the rods are cycled in and out of the sounding hole. Rod handling is efficient and the risk of cable damage is eliminated. New, RW NOVA technology uses radio waves to transmit measurements back to the receiver, opening the door for cordless SCPT, downhole video camera capabilities, and other data collecting sensors. Data transmission methods: Acoustic NOVA, Cable NOVA, RW NOVA New cone design offers 18 bit resolution with improved strength and gauge measurement accuracy. Repeatable penetration results Rod bore can be used for lubrication grouting as rods are pushed into the ground and for retraction grouting as rods are retrieved Can be used with multiple push platforms: drill rigs, cone trucks, Geoprobe® direct push machines. Interpret results quickly with user-friendly CPT-PRO software for comprehensive data evaluation.
