The Universal and Portable Pentrometers are designed to test the strength of a material. They are direct-reading instrumens used for precision penetration measurements of bituminous materials. They can be used for many applications including: cement, petrolatum and waxes, as well as food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical products.
