Significance & Use:

• Cone penetration tests not only evaluates the consistency of Lubricating Grease over the full range of NLGI Numbers from 000 to 6, but also evaluates the consistency of stiff greases having penetration number less than 85.

Salient Features:

1. Compact design and rugged construction ensures long service life and facilitates transport for field applications.
2. Powder coated body parts for aesthetical outer appearance.
3. Sturdy cast iron base provides excellent support.
4. Built-in spirit level and leveling screws ensure proper alignment during testing.
5. Supplied with Cone, container and Digital time controller.
6. Geared arrangement for moving the arm with geared unit.

Brief Construction Details:

1. The apparatus consists of a cast aluminum base with an iron stand on which moves an aluminum arm.
2. A 6" dial is fixed on this arm and a brass chromium plated rod slide through the lower portion of the arm.
3. A Brass cone with plunger is fitted to this rod.
4. The dial is graduated from 0-400 in one tenth millimeter sub division.
5. Rack, pinion and pointer assembly is provided for fine adjustment of Penetration Arm / Head.
6. Weight of the Cone and plunger match the criteria of IS/ASTM requirements.
7. The base of the instrument is also user-adjustable.
8. It can be lifted up or down with the jack provided at the bottom.
9. The penetration time is controlled and indicated on Digital Timer Panel with least count of 0.1 second.
10. The automatic digital timer and electrical arrangement, on push of a button, allows the plunger rod to fall freely for 5 seconds and clamps it automatically after 5 seconds.
11. The penetration value is measured and indicated on dial gauge.
12. Dial Gauge measures the penetration distance in 1/10th mm accuracy.
13. Operates on 230 Volt, 50 Hz, Single Phase, AC Supply.

Note:

• IS 1448 (P-60) / ASTM D217 specifies that for unworked penetration, the grease sample and the test equipment are brought to 25 ± 0.5°C using a temperature bath. Testing proceeds when the specimen has reached a uniform 25 ± 0.5°C. Hence Low Temp. bath or Constant Temp. Air bath is required.
