Penetration - Grease & Wax Method - PNR 12 (automatic)Standards depend on the selected accessories

ASTM D 217, ASTM D 937, ASTM D 1321, ASTM D 1403, ASTM D 7342, ISO 2137, DIN 51579, DIN 51580, IP 50, IP 179, IP 310,IP 376, JIS K2220, JIS K2235, NF T60-132, DAB 10-V.5.8.1, SMS 658

Product group(s): Grease, Penetration, Wax

User group(s): Lubricating Grease, Penetration, Wax

Scope: The Penetrometer PNR 12 is suitable for measurements according various "Grease, Petrolatum & Wax"methods.

Standard Cone-Penetration:To measure the consistancy of lubricating greases by unworked, worked, prolonged worked & blockpenetration procedures.

One-Quarter & One-Half Scale Cone-Penetration:To determinate the consistancy of small amounts of lubricating greases by unworked, worked penetrationprocedures.

Optional Cone-Penetration:To measure the consistancy of petrolatum and Vaseline.

Needle-Penetration:To measure the consistancy of waxes derivated from petroleum.

and Perforated Disk or Micro-Cone Methods

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

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

PNR 12 allows fully automatic measurements on electricallyconductive samples, as well as on non-conductive samples with theoptional patented Force-Sensor-Plunger.

The Surface-Detection Software of the PNR 12 will be activatedby Force-Sensor-Plungers. This option will detect the surfaceof non-conductive samples, even underneath a layer of water,It starts the standardized test sequence and reports the resultsautomatically.
