AGS Data Format – new Static Cone Penetration and Pressuremeter Test Beta

- by

New AGS Data Format groups and headings for Static Cone Penetration and Pressuremeter Testing have been released.

The proposed replacement CPT and Pressuremeter Testing groups, headings and notes should be considered a Beta version or “draft for discussion”, they can be found here.

We encourage trialling these groups by supplying them in addition to the pre-existing Static Cone Penetration/Dissipation (SCPG/SCPG/SCPT/SCDG/SCDT groups) and Pressuremeter tests (PMTG/PMTD/PMTL). However, please note, these groups should not be included in any specification at this stage.
