About This Product
Penetration is the distance in millimetres that a standard needle sinks vertically into a sample under fixed conditions of loading, time and temperature, so a firmer material gives a lower reading. Besides grease, the apparatus is used for petroleum, bitumen, tar, wax, polish, foodstuff, rubber, asphalts and pharmaceutical creams, which lets one instrument serve several materials practicals. The Grease Penetrometer Apparatus can be packed for export to Ghana, Costa Rica, Tunisia, Mauritania and Botswana.
