CPT NOVA System

Better accuracy and resolution is only two of the differences between the NOVA system and the forerunner the Classic system. The improvements made on the NOVA system make it one of the leading CPT systems on the market today.

The digital measured data is sent to the surface with 17 bits resolution (both cordless and cable) and an error detecting code. Via the interface the measurements are recorded and displayed on the computer in real-time.

The NOVA system has four different options. The same probe can be used for all four configurations. The four options of the NOVA systems are; RW NOVA, ACOUSTIC NOVA, CABLE NOVA and MEMORY NOVA.

Joint for all four systems are that they can be used with a back-up memory. The NOVA system you buy today can easily be upgraded to any of the other NOVA systems. The new smaller NOVA probe has a length of 23 cm and the weight is only 1,25 kg.

The unique cordless system makes the CPT sounding quicker and easier. Save yourself from trouble with the cord, just put the rods together. With RW NOVA the rod can be extended during penetration (provided that you are using a chuck or clamp to push and pull). This saves time, money and manpower.
