Product overview
The Penetrometer is a semi-automatic device for the determination of the consistency of grease, bitumen and petroleum wax.
The semi-automatic penetrometer is designed for the penetration range of 0 to 640 Pen(64 mm). A solid state timer controls the plunger release and hold down the plunger and it can be configured to run for 5, 8, 10, 12, 30 or 60 seconds depending your test specific needs. It also includes a holder for 2 ml or 4 ml sample tubes.
