UNIVERSAL PENETROMETER
HT-712
Reference Standards: IS 1203, ASTM D5
The Universal Penetrometer is used to determine the consistency and hardness of bituminous materials by measuring the penetration depth of a standard needle under specified load, time, and temperature.
This fundamental test is used for grading bitumen and evaluating material performance in pavement construction.
Key Features
- Precision vertical movement
- Adjustable levelling base
- Multi-application compatibility
Technical Specifications
- Load: 50g / 100g

Semi-Automatic Penetrometer
BS 1377:2; NF P94-052-1; CEN ISO/TS 17892-6, 17892-12
The Semi-Automatic Penetrometer for Liquid Limit consists of a cast iron base with course and fine leveling screws, a digital penetration measurement gauge 0.01 mm resolution/readibility and an automatic penetration timer unit. The is equipped with a digital, 99 second timer, which can be set to the standard 5 second free-fall time or to some other setting for customized tests. When engaged the timer will allow the needle to free fall into the sample for the specific time interval and then lock the needle from advancing while providing a direct reading of the test results. 320 g weight should be added to the 30° angle cone to get a total weight of 400 g for the shear strength test.
Semi-Automatic Penetrometer for Liquid Limit supplied complete with :
- Automatic Penetration Timer Unit
- 30° Penetration Cone
- Sample Cups, 3 pcs. Aluminium, Ø55 mm x h:35 mm.
