Advance Digital Penetrometer Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : TVT-BATE-10341
The Advance Digital Penetrometer from Tvet Equipments determines the consistency of bituminous and similar semi-solid samples by measuring how far a standard needle penetrates the specimen under a fixed load, displaying the result digitally for high-accuracy, repeatable readings.
How It Works
The sample is levelled on the instrument's base using the built-in levelling bubble and vertical fine-adjustment knob, and the standard needle assembly is brought to just touch the specimen surface under LED-illuminated viewing. The needle is then released for a set time under the standard load, and a digital measuring device records the penetration depth to 0.01 mm resolution, either in an automated auto-cycle or a manual test mode, with the result logged automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Advance Digital Penetrometer measure?
It measures the depth, in tenths of a millimetre, that a standard needle penetrates a bituminous or similar sample under a fixed load and time, expressed to 0.01 mm resolution.
Q2. Can it run in both automatic and manual modes?
Yes, the instrument supports both auto and manual test operation, giving the operator flexibility depending on the test procedure being followed.
Q3. Does it record results automatically?
Yes, penetration results are captured and recorded automatically by the digital measuring device, reducing transcription error compared to manual dial-gauge instruments.
