I'm looking for options to test "leaf toughness" and was wondering if this penetrometer could work for this purpose?

I would not recommend using this for leaf toughness analysis. This is for field testing/typing spoil (normally for excavation in the construction industry).

Will it work for fruits too?? and What´s the scale range? thanks

It would not be accurate with fruit because of the thickness and hardness of the skin. It could give you the hardness of the skin for whatever value that may be but would not tell you the ripeness of the flesh of the fruit.

multiply your reading by 2000lbs!

its tons per sqft, so 1.0 is 2,000psf, 1.5 is 3,000psf, 2 is 4,000psf. works great

Good quality Pocket Penetrometer

I use this in a class I teach on soils. I have the students use it on Styrofoam which gives readings similar to common soil without the mess.

It works...

With soils engineers there is not a lot of use for this for the average Joe. I use it when teaching excavation safety classes.

Used to determine footing size needed

Useful. Quick tests showed our soil had a much lower bearing capacity than anticipated and required wider footings.

Worked great for determining soil classification

The Army Corps always assumes Class C soil causing a lot of extra cost when trenching. I was able to prove that our soil was class A and did not require benching or shoring. A pocket penetrometer is authorized by Army Corps EM 385-1-1 and OSHA.
