About Standard Penetrometer Hand Operated

Standard Penetrometer, Hand Operated

Standard Penetrometer
Used to determine grade of bitumen. The penetration tests determine consistency of bitumen for the purpose of grading Depth in units 1/10 of millimeter to which a standard needle having a standard weight will penetrate vertically in a duration of five seconds at a temperature of 25 C determines penetration for gradation.

Consists of a vertical pillar mounted on a base provided with leveling screw The head together with dial gauge rod and cone (or needle) slides on a pillar and can be clamped at required height. A rack and pinion and pointer assembly provides adjustment of needle or cone tip to sample. It incorporates a slipping clutch mechanism which make reading of penetration and subsequent restting a simple and accurate operation The dial is graduated in 400 1/10th mm sub-divisions, and the red needle pointer against black figures makes for easy reading. Supplied complete with one 50 gram weight, and one 100 gram weight and one needle.

Accessories

Penetrometer Cone : Made of Gunmetal and is fitted with a hardened and ground detachable steel, tip and a stem, Total moving weight is 150 + 0.1 gram.

Automatic Standard Penetrometer : Same as above , but supplied with transistorized timer and electro-magnet incorporated in the cluth mechanism to accurately control penetration time to exact five seconds.

Accurate and Compliant Performance

Engineered specifically for bitumen and asphalt testing, this penetrometer conforms with IS:1203, ASTM D5, and BS 2000 standards. Its hand-operated mechanism and 3.2 mm plunger ensure reliable measurements with an accuracy of 0.1 mm. This tool is an excellent choice for those who require consistent and reproducible results in the laboratory.

Robust Build and User-Friendly Design

The instrument is constructed from powder-coated, corrosion-resistant metal, providing long-lasting durability even in demanding conditions. Its heavy base grants stability during testing, and the free-standing mounting design makes it simple to use across various testing setups. The analog scale features a mirror for precise readings, reducing parallax errors.

Comprehensive Accessory Kit

Each unit includes a penetration needle, transfer dish, manual timer, and extra weights, supplying everything needed for immediate start. All components are neatly packed in a sturdy box with protective padding to ensure safety during transport, making this penetrometer both portable and dependable for laboratory and field use.

FAQs of Standard Penetrometer Hand Operated:

Q: How do you operate the Standard Penetrometer Hand Operated for bitumen testing?

A: To operate the device, securely place the sample in the penetration cup provided. Position the plunger and weights above the sample, set the needle to just contact the surface, and use the manual plunger release. Start the included manual timer (typically 5 or 60 seconds), then read the penetration depth directly from the analog scale with mirror for accuracy.

Q: What are the key benefits of using this manual penetrometer?

A: This instrument offers robust construction, portability, reliable compliance with international testing standards, and immediate, precise readings. Its hand-operated design is ideal for laboratories requiring cost-effective, accurate penetration testing of bitumen, asphalt, and petroleum samples.

Q: When should the penetration test be performed using this device?

A: The test is ideal for quality control during bitumen and asphalt production, or as part of ongoing material testing in the laboratory. Ensure the ambient temperature is between 10C and 40C and relative humidity up to 90% RH (non-condensing) for consistent results.

Q: Where is the Standard Penetrometer typically utilized?

A: This equipment is widely used in laboratories focused on bituminous material testing and in quality assurance environments within the construction, road building, oil, and petroleum industries, particularly across India and markets adhering to IS:1203, ASTM D5, or BS 2000 standards.

Q: What is the process for calibrating the Standard Penetrometer?

A: Before first use and periodically thereafter, ensure the plunger mechanism moves smoothly, weights are accurate, and the analog scale is set correctly using the supplied calibration procedure or reference standards. This ensures the device continues to deliver readings accurate to 0.1 mm.

Q: Can this penetrometer test more than one specimen at a time?

A: No, the instrument is designed to test a single specimen at any given time, as per standard protocols, ensuring each measurement is isolated and conforms to recognized bitumen testing standards.

Q: What accessories are included with the Standard Penetrometer?

A: The package contains a penetration needle, transfer dish, manual timer, additional weights, and all required assembly parts, delivered in a protective, padded box for secure transport and storage.
