K19500 PENETROMETER
K19500 PENETROMETER
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.
Features and Benefits
• Conforms to ASTM and related specifications for penetrometers
• Suitable for laboratory or field use
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). Accommodates cones and needles to perform all of the ASTM
tests on lubricating greases, asphalts, petroleum waxes and petrolatums.
Compact design facilitates transport for field use.
Head assembly adjusts for accurate placement of the tip of the needle or
cone on the surface of the sample.
Sturdy cast iron base provides excellent support and has a built-in spirit level and leveling screws to insure proper alignment of the penetrometer during testing.
Supplied with 50 and 100 gram weights and standard 47.5g plunger assembly.
Order test cones, needles and lightweight plunger (where applicable) separately
