Penetration - Bitumen Method - PNR 12 (automatic)Standards depend on the selected accessories

ASTM D 5, DIN 52010 (obs.), EN 1426, EN 13179-2, EN 13880-2, JIS K2207, AASHTO T49

Product group(s): Bitumen, Penetration

User group(s): Airports & Aviation, Asphalt, Bitumen, Mastics, Penetration, Regulatory Authorities, Road Research, Tar,Various

Scope: The Penetrometer PNR 12 is suitable for measurements according various "Bitumen" methods.

Needle-Penetration:To measure the consistancy of semi-solid and solid bituminous mixtures.

Rod-Penetration:To measure the apparent viscosity (Bitumen No) of filler aggregates used in bituminous mixtures.

Cone-Penetration:To determinate the consistancy of hot-applied, fuel-resistant joint sealants with or with out being immersed infuel or oil.

The Penetration is used to measure the resistance which a materialunder specified test conditions provides against being pierced by aspecifically shaped penetrator.

Fully "Automatic Surface-Detection" on bitumen beneath astandardized layer of waterJog-Shuttle driven menue (turn & push)

Movement by stepper motor

LED illumination

Beside the configuration of the penetrator used, prime importanceattaches to such factors as temperature, time and load specified bythe different standard methods of test.
