Standard Penetrometer - Bitumen-Asphalt Testing Equipment

Description and Specification for Lab Tenders

Used to determine grade of bitumen. The penetration tests determine consistency of bitumen for the purpose of grading.. 
Bitumen-Asphalt Testing Lab equipment manufacturers,exporters and Bitumen-Asphalt Testing Lab suppliers Depth 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 25ºC determines penetration for gradation. Salient Features Specifications : It consists of a vertical pillar mounted on a base provided with leveling screws. The head, together with dial plunger rod and cone (or needle) slides on a pillar and can be clamped at any desired height. A rack & 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 sub-divisions and the needle pointer against figures makes easy reading. Supplied with bitumen penetration needle, ring weight one each 50 gms, and two sample container. Accessories : Penetration cone for empirical estimation of penetration of lubricating grease, petroleum jelly etc. Automatic Standard Penetrometer : Same as above but supplied with transistorized timer and Electro magnet incorporated in the clutch mechanism to accurately control penetration time to exact five seconds. civil lab equipments manufacturers
