The measurement is indicated with a dial and represented in terms of the California Bearing Ratio (CBR). Developed in conjunction with the UK Ministry of Defence, the Mexe probe is a robust and reliable instrument used throughout the world by both commercial and military establishments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSoil Assessment Cone Penetrometer Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Measurement range for CBR is from 0-15% CBR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/agricultural-and-biological-sciences\/trafficability\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSoil trafficability\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003emeasurements can be made using the Cone Index (CI) range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• The linear CI range is from 0-300 and has 60 divisions, each of 11.12N (1.13kgf).
