(1) The purpose of the soil test probe is to gauge the strength of the soil below the surface and near the anchor’s
helical plate. The strength of the soil is estimated in terms of its resistance to penetration (flow) under load by
means of the torque probe and is measured in lb-in. The test probe has a helix on it. The overall length of the
helicalSectionis10.75in.;themajordiameteris1.25in.;theminordiameteris0.81in.;thepitchis1.75in
The shaft must be of suitable length for anchor depth.
