SPT Hammer

• The SPT Hammer is designed for driving the split tube sampler or cone assembly required for the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) or Cone Penetration Test (CPT).
• The hammer consists of a sliding weight with a mass of 63.5 kg complete with pick-up and self-tripping mechanism that ensures that the weight has a free-fall of exactly 750 mm.
• The inner shaft acts as a guide which permits the weight to drop with minimal resistance and ensures that the weight strikes the anvil squarely.
• The base of the anvil has a B – box connection, and is supplied with a B pin – BWY pin coupling.
• The hammer is supplied with a safety cross bolt which secures the sliding outer sleeve to the inner guide rod when the hammer is not in use or during transport.
• The overall length of the hammer is 2320mm un-extended (without coupling) and 3070mm when extended (without coupling). The total weight of the complete hammer is 130 kg.
