Standard Penetrometer
Product Code : EL-BTLE-10439
Quick Answer: The Standard Penetrometer is used to measure bitumen penetration per EN 1426 | ASTM D5 | AASHTO T49. It consists of a vertical pillar mounted on a leveling-screw base, with a head carrying a dial, plunger rod and cone (or needle) that slides on the pillar and can be clamped at any desired height; a rack and pinion assembly provides fine adjustment of the needle or cone tip to the sample, and a clutch mechanism makes reading the penetration and resetting a simple and accurate operation. It is supplied with a bitumen penetration needle, one 50 gms and one 100 gms ring weight, and two sample containers, with a penetration cone accessory available for empirical estimation of the penetration of lubricating grease, petroleum jelly etc.
It consists of a vertical pillar mounted on a base provided with leveling screws. The head, together with dial plunger rod a cone (or needle) slides on a pillar and can be clamped at any desired height. The dial is graduated in 400 subdivisions of 1/10 millimeter, with the needle pointer against figures making for easy reading. A rack and pinion and pointer assemble provides fine adjustment of needle or cone tip to sample. It incorporates a clutch mechanism, which makes reading of penetration and subsequent resetting a simple and accurate operation. Supplied with a bitumen penetration needle, ring weight one each 50 gms. and 100 gms. two sample containers.
