Penetrometer

Penetrometer

Designed for ASTM penetration tests on petroleum products and for consistency tests on a wide range of food products, cosmetics, pastes and other solid to semi-solid products. Precision machined and assembled to exacting specifications, and ruggedly constructed to ensure long service life in both laboratory and field applications. Features a full penetration range of 0-62.0mm with 1⁄10mm subdivisions (0-620 penetration scale). Accommodates cones and needles to perform all of the ASTM tests on lubricating greases, asphalts, petroleum waxes and petrolatums. Compact design facilitates transport for field use. Head assembly adjusts for accurate placement of the tip of the needle or cone on the surface of the sample. Sturdy cast iron base provides excellent support and has a built-in spirit level and leveling screws to ensure proper alignment of the penetrometer during testing. Supplied with 50 and 100 gram weights and standard 47.5g plunger assembly. Order test cones, needles and lightweight plunger (where applicable) separately.

Additional information

Test Method

Penetration tests are performed on petroleum products to determine consistency and shear stability (lubricating greases) for design, quality control and identification purposes. A standard cone or needle is released from a penetrometer and allowed to drop freely into the sample for 5 seconds (or a different specified interval) at constant temperature. The depth of penetration of the cone or needle into the sample is measured in tenths of a millimeter by the penetrometer.
