About Penetrometer Apparatus

We are among the top companies in our domain engaged in manufacturing and supplying an exclusive range of Penetrometer Apparatus. The apparatus is used for determining the penetration test of various petrochemical products like wax, bitumen, tar and rubber. To comply with the set industrial norms, we use quality grade aluminum to design the apparatus. Our quality analysts check the Penetrometer Apparatus on finishing and efficiency parameters to offer a defect free range.

Features:

Accurate calibration
Hassle free performance
Easy to operate

Further Details:

This apparatus is used for penetration test on a wide variety of materials such as grease, Petroleum, Bitumen, Tar, Wax, Polish, food stuff, Rubber asphalts and pharmaceuticals Creams.A given force is applied over a given of a millimeter and expressed as penetration. It consists of a head support mounted on a vertical rod which can be adjusted for height. A rack and pinion and pointer assembly provides fine adjustment of a needle tip to sample and incorporates a slipping clutch mechanism which make reading of Penetration and subsequent resetting of a sample and accurate operation.

The dial is graduated from 0-400 in on tenth millimeter Sub Division. The instrument is supplied with two samples containers made of aluminum. The penetration is the distance in millimeter that a standard needle penetrates vertically into a sample of the material under fixed conditions of loading time and temperature. This instrument measures the reading on round dial fitted on a Aluminum Painted stand having adjustable penetration needle, holder sample container and transfer dish.

Versatile Material Consistency Testing

The Penetrometer Apparatus offers the capability to evaluate the penetration consistency of a wide range of materials, including soil, creams, pastes, and other semi-solids. Equipped with both needle and cone attachments as well as calibrated weights, it facilitates precise testing for industrial, quality assurance, and R&D applications.

Stable Construction for Accurate Results

Constructed with a cast iron base, the Penetrometer Apparatus minimizes vibration and movement during testing. This ensures stable placement of the sample and supports the high repeatability and accuracy required for laboratory analyses. Every included accessory fits seamlessly for smooth operation.

Intuitive Operation with Built-In Timer

For ease of use, the apparatus employs an instant release mechanism and features an integrated timer adjustable from 0 to 60 seconds. This enables users to perform repeatable measurements and improves result consistency, making the device reliable for frequent laboratory testing.

FAQs of Penetrometer Apparatus:

Q: How does the Penetrometer Apparatus work?

A: The Penetrometer Apparatus determines the penetration depth of a needle or cone into a sample under specific weight and time conditions. The instant release mechanism ensures a controlled start, and the timer (up to 60 seconds) allows users to precisely monitor the process and obtain consistent, repeatable results.

Q: What types of samples can be tested with this apparatus?

A: This apparatus is ideal for measuring the consistency of semi-solid, soft, or plastic materials such as soils, creams, gels, bitumen, and foodstuffs. It is commonly used in laboratories, quality control, and research and development settings across various industries.

Q: When should I use the penetration cone versus the needle?

A: The penetration needle is typically used for testing softer or semi-solid materials, while the cone is more suitable for stiffer substances or applications such as soil or bitumen testing. The choice depends on the standard testing protocol for your specific sample.

Q: Where is the Penetrometer Apparatus most commonly used?

A: It is most frequently utilized in quality control laboratories, manufacturing and research laboratories, and educational institutions in India and worldwide. Common applications include geotechnical testing, food texture analysis, and product development.

Q: What accessories are included with the Penetrometer Apparatus?

A: The apparatus is supplied with a cast iron base, a penetration needle, a penetration cone, sample containers, and a set of 50g and 100g weights, providing everything needed for immediate setup and accurate measurements.

Q: What is the operational temperature range for this device?

A: The Penetrometer Apparatus is designed to operate effectively in ambient temperatures ranging from 10C to 40C, ensuring reliable performance in standard laboratory environments.

Q: What are the main benefits of using this apparatus?

A: Key benefits include high reliability, precision in measuring penetration (from 040 mm), durable construction, ease of operation, and suitability for a broad variety of material types, making it a valuable tool for consistent quality and research analysis.
