Seafloor Plow Test Fixture

Port Hueneme, CA

The Seafloor Plow Test Fixture consists of an indoor tank to mechanically test implements, such as seafloor plows, in selected test-bed soils (e.g. sands, silts, and gravels). Test bed soils are normally in the condition of being fully saturated with water. The tank size is 300 gallons. The SPTF is equipped with sand cone density gages, WES cone penetrometers, and gear to facilitate soil jetting (i.e. Hydraulic Power Unit, tow cables, air compressor).
