Digital Penetrometers

Microprocessor Based

Conforms to the following specifications: ASTM D5, D217, D937, Dl321, Dl403, D2884, D4950; IP 49, 50, 179, 310; ISo 2137; DIN 51804, 51580, 51579; FTM 791-311,791-312, 791-313; AOCS Cc 16-60; AACC 58-14

 

PE-2101

A new microprocessor based penetrometer loaded with advanced features to provide ease of operation and highly reproducible consistency measurements of solid to semisolid products. Microprocessor control provides a full range of measurement and reporting options, and operation is simplified by four user programmable presets that facilitate lowering the penetrator tip to the sample surface.

 

 

 

Features

Tests the consistency of lubricating greases, petroleum waxes, bitumens, and other solid to semi-solid products. Automatically timed operator programmable penetration measurements Motorized placement of penetrator on sample surface Large LCD to display all functions RS232 port for data transfer Full measurement range of 0-620 in 1/10mm scale or 1/100mm scale Rechargeable battery or AC operation Large, detachable base accommodates grease worker cups and a wide range of sample containers. Removable head assembly permits use with a constant temperature bath. Complete selection of penetrometer cones, needles and accessories for petroleum products testing and for a wide range of other applications Conforms to all ASTM, IP, ISO 9001 and related specifications for penetrometers

 

 

Automatically Time Penetrations

The penetrometer defaults to the standard ASTM interval of 5.0 seconds, or the operator may conveniently program a different interval in the range between 0.1 and 9999.9 seconds (in 0.1 second increments). A curing or temperature stabilization period may also be programmed by the operator (to delay the release of the penetrator into the sample) and for added convenience all selected parameters are retained in memory and automatically repeated in subsequent tests until changed by the operator. Separate keypad controls for each parameter simplify operation. Penetration and delay intervals count down on a large, easy to read LCD on the head of the unit.

 

 

 

Convenient Measurement and Reporting Options

Penetration measurements in the full range of 0 - 620 in 1/10 mm scale are reported in either 1/10 mm or 1/100 mm increments at the operator's option. For qualily control testing, a penetration range can be entered into memory prior to testing. If a test result falls outside of the programmed range, an audible signal and visual error message alert the operator of a failed sample. Test results are displayed in digital format on a large LCD readout on the head of the penetrometer and can be communicated to a printer or computer via a built-in RS232 interface.

 

 

 

Simplified Penetrator Tip Replacement

Correct placement of the penetrater tip on the sample surface is essential for accurate penetration test results. The Digital Penetrometer has four operator programmable presets that lower the penetrater to the sample surface height at the touch of a button, greatly simplifying the process to ensure reproducibilily. A fine adjustment button permits slight adjustments as needed. Full manual operation is also available with the use of coarse and fine push button controls and built-in magnifier and illuminator arms. When testing electrically conductive samples, a built-in circuit senses the sample surface for automatic placement. After testing, the penetrometer head returns to a raised position at the touch of a button to facilitate cleaning of the penetrometer and changing of the sample.
