Penetrometer Apparatus
Product Description
(As per IP 49, 50 & 167 specifications and also as per IS 1448 (P:90) & (P:93))
This apparatus is used for penetration test on a wide variety of materials. It consists of a head support mounted on a vertical rod, adjustable for height. A rack and pinion with pointer assembly provides fine adjustment of needle tip to sample and incorporates a slipping clutch mechanism, which makes reading of penetration and subsequent resetting simple and accurate. The dial is graduated from 0–400 in one-tenth millimeter subdivisions. The instrument is supplied with two sample containers and two weights (50 gm / 100 gm).
