Bitumen Penetrometer Apparatus
PT-II Penetrometer.pdf
Summary
This asphalt penetrometer is designed and made as per T0604-2011
Penetration Test for Bituminous Materials in JTG E20-2011 Standard Test Methods for Bitumen and Bituminous
Mixtures for Highway Engineering and ASTM D5 Standard Test Method for Penetration of Bituminous
Materials.
This bitumen penetrometer is used to determine the penetration of
pavement petroleum asphalt, modified asphalt, liquid petroleum
asphalt and emulsified asphalt. It is also suitable to test solid
particle, powder, colloid and raw-food materials such as cheese,
glycine, butter, wax,cream and leavening. It can be widely used in
food industry, highway engineering and other industrial fields.
I. Main technical features
1. The needle holder is designed novelly. It can be moved
vertically and adjusted roughly and finely without measurable
frication.
2. This penetrometer adopts novel heating design. The heating and
temperature measuring appliance is separated from water bath. Easy
to operate.
3. This penetrometer is equipped with automatic temperature
controller and high accuracy temperature sensor, the temperature
can be set conveniently and control precision is high.
4. This penetration test kit adopts newly designed digital meter.
The measuring data is stable and reliable.

8. Stirring: Automatically stirred by magnetic stirrer
9. Standard needle: 2.5g±0.05g
10. Needle holder: It can be adjusted roughly and finely without
measurable frication to make the tip aim the sample conveniently.
11. Power supply:AC(220±10％)V, 50Hz
12. Dimension:280mm×350mm×700mm
III. Optional accessories
