Technical Specification
Complete technical data, dimensions, capacity and performance parameters for Astra Scientific Automatic Digital Bitumen Penetrometer.
Specification: The Automatic Electronic Penetrometer is used for
determination of the needle penetration according to EN 1426, ASTM D5
and AASHTO T49 standards. The penetration depth of the needle is
determined with a pulse type electronic measuring system, which is
separated from the plunger during the test, this allows the free
guidance of the plunger which virtually eliminates friction during the
test.
Before each start of the test the measuring system automatically resets,
and then the penetration needle moves down to the sample by using the
electric drive, the needle position can be finely adjusted by using the
joystick located on the front panel. A magnifying glass and an ultra-
bright LED lamp are supplied to assist the operator; the plunger is then
automatically released onto the sample and raised automatically after
the testing period. The test result is displayed on the digital display.
The plunger can easily be removed to calibrate its weight.
A water bath and a thermometer (IP38, ASTM 17C or 63C) required for the test are ordered separately.
The Automatic Electronic Penetrometer is supplied complete with;
Penetration Needle, 1 piece
Transfer Dish
Sample Cup, Ø 55x35 mm, 6 pieces, stainless steel
