The Indentation Penetrometer (Asphalt) is a laboratory instrument designed to assess the penetration resistance of asphalt and bituminous materials. This test is crucial for evaluating the rigidity and performance of asphalt in various applications, including road construction and waterproofing.
The Indentation Penetrometer (Asphalt) comprises of the following:
- Stainless steel water bath complete with water discharge cock.
- Rugged basic frame where the screw penetration load device is fixed.
- Two interchangeable penetration pistons having 1 and 5 cm 2 surface.
- Two metallic discs having total weight of 500 N ( 51 kg) that are positioned on the load device.
- Dial gauge 30 mm, sens. 0.01 mm to measure the penetration.
Please note heater, test/cube moulds are not included.
