GHD Thread for 44 mm CPT Tubes

GHD thread stands for Gouda Heavy Duty thread and has been specially designed by Gouda Geo-Equipment for nearshore cone penetration tests using top-push technique. The thread has many advantages over the threads currently available:

  • Optimal balance between male and female threads
  • Single-entry thread, so much less susceptible to loosening during the CPT process
  • Only 3 revolutions required to close or open
  • Easy to clean with a steelwire brush
  • Closes superbly resulting in a very good resistance to water inflow
