Semi-Automatic Digital Penetrometer
Used to determine the consistency of a bituminous sample under fixed conditions of load, time and temperature. The penetration is expressed in distance of tenths of millimeters vertically penetrated by a standard needle. The unit has a magnetic controller device with electronic digital programmable timer that automatically releases the plunger head and ensures free falling of the needle during the 5-seconds test.
The penetrometer is supplied with stop and release push button, automatic zero set, micrometer adjustment, weight of 50 g. penetration needle, sample cup dia. 55x35 mm.
Power supply: 220 V 1 ph 50/60 Hz
Dimensions: 220x380x490 mm.
Weight: 16 kg
The apparatus consists of a penetrometer with adjustable head combined with a gear that permits a fine adjustment of the cone position right upon the bitumen sample: the results are showed on a digital display placed, together with an electronic timer in an independent control box.Optionally, refrigerated baths of various sizes are available (please require related technical bulletin): by connecting the bath to the transfer dish it is possible to penetrate samples while immersed in water at 25°C or other test temperatures.
