Standard Penetrometer manufactured by us is used for determining the grade of bitumen. The penetration exercise is used for analyzing the consistency of the available bitumen for grading purposes. Standard Penetrometer designed by us will tell you satisfactory estimations of the bitumen, which could be used for grading purposes.
SpecificationsIt 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. 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. The dial is graduated in 400 1/10 and the millimeter subdivisions and the needle pointer against figures makes easy reading.Supplied with a bitumen penetration needle, ring weight one each 50 gms. and 100 gms. two sample containers.
Working Of Standard PenetrometerDepth in units 1/10 of millimeter to which a standard needle having a standard weight will penetrate vertically in a duration of five seconds at a temperature of 25
oC determines penetration for gradation.
Standards : It confirms to the ASTM D5, BS 2000 Standards
Accessories Of Standard Penetrometer - Petroleum jelly
- Penetration cone for giving you an estimation of the penetration value of lubricating grease
