Standard Penetrometer Apparatus
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.
Conforms to the specifications of: ASTM D5, D217, D937, D1321, D1403, D2884, D4950; IP 49, 50, 179, 310; ISO 2137; DIN 51804, 51580, 51579; FTM 791-311, 791-312, 791-313; AOCS Cc 16-60; AACC 58-14; NF T 60-119; 60-123; 60-132; 66-004.
- 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 semisolid products.
- Precision machined and assembled to exacting specifications, and ruggedly constructed to insure 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).
