Digital Penetrometer Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Digital Penetrometer (Product Code: SLE/CE/84) is a microprocessor-controlled bench instrument used to measure how far a test probe penetrates a sample, for example in bitumen penetration testing in highway and materials laboratories. It resolves penetration to 0.01 mm over a 0–50 mm range, moves automatically to the test start point and plots the penetration/time curve on a 6-inch touch screen. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Digital Penetrometer Used For?

Penetration is the depth a loaded probe sinks into a sample in a set time at a controlled temperature, and for paving bitumen it is one of the main grading tests. On a manual penetrometer the operator lowers the needle to the surface, releases it and reads a dial. This instrument automates those steps: it finds the start point, times the penetration and the delay, records the depth to 0.01 mm and draws the penetration/time curve.

The eight programmable holder positions let several points on a sample be tested in sequence, and up to six results can be shown side by side and averaged. Results go to a database via USB, or to a PC over LAN, for reports. Bring samples to the required test temperature before testing, clean the probe between readings and use the LED lamp to check contact with the surface. It suits laboratories adding modern test and measurement instruments in India to their bitumen section.

What to Specify When Ordering

• The test method or methods you follow, so that needles, weights and holders can be confirmed
• Whether sample conditioning equipment should be quoted as well
• Whether you will use the USB database, the LAN link to a PC, or both
• The electrical supply at your laboratory

Frequently Asked Questions

What penetration range and resolution does the Digital Penetrometer have?
The Digital Penetrometer (SLE/CE/84) measures penetration over a range of 0–50 mm with a resolution of 0.01 mm. It reaches the test start point automatically and has an integrated LED lamp to light the sample surface.

Which tests is the Digital Penetrometer used for?
The listing for the Digital Penetrometer does not name specific test methods. Instruments of this type are commonly used for needle penetration tests on bitumen, so tell us your method and the needles, weights and holders you need, and the quotation will confirm them.

Can the penetration time and delay be programmed?
Yes. On the Digital Penetrometer, penetration time is programmable from 0 to 9999 seconds and delay time from 0 to 999 seconds. Eight reference positions for the holder assembly can also be programmed, so several points are tested in sequence.

How does the Digital Penetrometer display and store results?
The Digital Penetrometer shows the penetration/time curve on a 6-inch lateral touch screen and can display and average up to six tests at once. A USB port holds the test database, and a LAN port connects the instrument to a PC.

How large and heavy is the Digital Penetrometer?
The Digital Penetrometer is a compact bench instrument measuring 360 × 410 × 680 mm (width × depth × height) and weighing approximately 21 kg. Allow bench space around it for sample containers and for connecting a PC by LAN if required.

Is a calibration certificate available for the Digital Penetrometer?
Calibration-certificate availability for the Digital Penetrometer should be discussed with us at the enquiry stage. Let us know what documentation your laboratory needs, and we will confirm what can be provided with the instrument you are quoted.
