H-1200 Universal Penetrometer
H-1200
H-1200

Direct reading unit accurately determines consistency of bituminous materials, cement, petrolatum and waxes, as well as food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical products. Unit has accurately machined aluminum base with grooved table surface ground to ±.005" (0.127mm) and stainless steel support guide rods perpendicular to the base for rigidity. Built in spirit level has two adjusting leveling screws. Cast aluminum head features fine adjustment, plunger mechanism and depth gage. Dust-proof 5" (127mm) dia. indicator dial is graduated into 400 divisions of 0.1mm, corresponding to 40mm penetration, and has zero reset to eliminate errors.

Locking collar or plunger weighs 47.5g and is supplied with 1/8" (3mm) dia hole for use with standard needles. Two additional loading weights (50g and 100g) mount on base when not in use. One H-1280 penetration needle (2.5g) is furnished. Overall dimensions: 10-1/2x13x22". Meets ASTM D5, D217, D1168, D1191, D1321, D1403, D1831, D1855: AASHTO T49, T187: others Shpg wt. 30 lbs. (13.6kg). Cube. cont. 4 cu ft. NOTE: Special cones and needles available on request.
