专利汇可以提供Apparatus for measuring subsurface soil characteristics专利检索，专利查询，专利分析的服务。并且An instrument platform structure is lowered to the bottom of a body of water by means of a hoisting cable. A measuring instrument is lowered from the underwater platform structure by means of an instrument cable coupled to a spooling drum located on such underwater platform structure. The measuring instrument burrows its way into the water bottom soil by emitting water from water nozzles on the lower end of the instrument. The pressurized water is supplied to the nozzles by means of a water hose forming part of the instrument cable and a water pump mounted on the underwater platform structure. The measuring instrument includes various measuring devices such as penetrometers, nuclear radiation devices, etc., for making measurements indicative of physical characteristics of the soil adjacent the hole formed by the passage of the measuring instrument.，下面是Apparatus for measuring subsurface soil characteristics专利的具体信息内容。
