The DCP apparatus consists of a 5/8”-inch diameter steel rod with a 60 degree conical tip. The rod is topped with an anvil that is connected to a second steel rod. This rod is used as a guide to allow an 8 kg hammer to be repeatedly raised and dropped from a height of 575mm. The connection between the two rods consists of anvil to allow for quick connections between the rods and for efficient energy transfer from the falling weight to the penetrating rod.
