  2. Shovel test pit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shovel_test_pit

    It designates a series of (c. 0.50 m or less) test holes, usually dug out by a shovel (hence the name) in order to determine whether the soil contains any cultural remains that are not visible on the surface. [2] The soil is sifted or screened through 1/4" or 6 mm wire mesh to recover the artifacts.

  3. Standard penetration test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_penetration_test

    The standard penetration test (SPT) is an in-situ dynamic penetration test designed to provide information on the geotechnical engineering properties of soil. This test is the most frequently used subsurface exploration drilling test performed worldwide. The test procedure is described in ISO 22476-3, ASTM D1586 [1] and Australian Standards AS ...

  4. Cone penetration test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_penetration_test

    The resolution of the CPT in delineating stratigraphic layers is related to the size of the cone tip, with typical cone tips having a cross-sectional area of either 10 or 15 cm 2, corresponding to diameters of 3.6 and 4.4 cm. A very early ultra-miniature 1 cm 2 subtraction penetrometer was developed and used on a US mobile ballistic missile ...

  5. Percolation test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percolation_test

    A percolation test (colloquially called a perc test) is a test to determine the water absorption rate of soil (that is, its capacity for percolation) in preparation for the building of a septic drain field (leach field) or infiltration basin. [1] The results of a percolation test are required to design a septic system properly.
