The Automatic Bitumen Penetrometer is used for determination of needle penetration. To determine the penetration depth of the needle, a pulse type electronic measuring system is used.
Before the start of each test, the measuring system automatically resets. The penetration needle then moves towards the sample by using the electric drive. By using the joystick situated on the front panel, the position of the needle can be adjusted. An ultra-bright LED lamp and a magnifying glass come supplied with the apparatus.
