Coefficient of Penetrometer (Net Area Ratio)

This coefficient α [-] represents the net area ratio which is determined from calibration measurement at the laboratory (the effort to eliminate the adverse effects of friction sleeve and unequal cone tip). Typical values of this coefficient are in the range from 0.7 to 0.85.
