    This document provides instructions for correcting standard penetration test (SPT) N-values for borehole diameter, hammer energy, rod length, and groundwater depth. It includes a table with sample borehole data including depth, unit weight, rod length correction, vertical total stress, measured N-value, and corrected N1,60-value for various depths. Selection boxes are provided to choose units, sampler type, borehole size, hammer type, and whether to correct to N1,60.
