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.

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

Fully "Automatic Surface-Detection"

Jog-Shuttle driven menue (turn & push)

Manual & electronic positioning

Movement by stepper motor

LED illumination

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.
