Manual Penetrometer: As per IS: 1448[P 93]:1979 / IS: 1203:1978 / ASTM D
1321-76 / ASTM D 217.
The Universal Penetrometer is employed for testing a wide variety of materials as
measured by penetration of weighted needles or cones. Main applications are for
bituminous materials, but waxes, greases, foods, and pharmaceuticals are among other
products tested. Penetration is read from a 5" (127mm) diameter indicator dial of 0-400
divisions, each representing 0.1mm of penetration. Global offers heavy-duty units for
manual and automatic use and a lighter, portable model for field work or for users with
limited work load or limited budget. All meet ASTM and IS standards when fitted with
proper needle or cone.
The unit is ruggedly constructed for accurate, sensitive measurements. The aluminum
base has a machined, grooved table with leveling screws for fine adjustments of tips of
needles, cones and a spirit level. A robust stainless steel rod act as a support guides for
a cast aluminum head with coarse adjustments & a movable table with rotating knob
for fine adjustments to level the meniscus of specimen and a calibrated friction-free
plunger mechanism. Indicator dial has instant zero reset. Any needle or cone with
standard 1/8" (3mm) diameter stem may be mounted to the 47.5g plunger assembly. A
standard 2.5g needle and two additional loading weights (50g, 100g) are included.
Needles or cones for other tests can be provided separately as needed. Overall
dimensions are 10.5x13x22" (267x330x559), (W x D x H) approx.
The Automatic model is the same as the manual unit, but has a button release mechanism with digital timer & DIGITAL
read out for penetration to automatically stop the plunger when the preset time from 0.1 to 9.9 sec. expires with audible
buzzer sound.
The penetration needle for bituminous materials is smooth, hardened, tempered stainless steel with brass ferrule and
weighs 2.5g to give 50g total when mounted. Stainless steel wax penetration needle is also 2.5g but has truncated coneshaped

Automatic Flash & Fire point Apparatus:
Determination of the Flash- and Fire-Point with Open Cup - ClevelandMethod (automatic)
AS PER IS 1448( P-69 ) :1969 , ASTM D 92/66 , IP 6/57
Scope
The flash point is the lowest liquid temperature at which application of the
flame causes the vapors of the test specimen of the sample to ignite. To
determine the fire-point, the test is continued until the application of the test
flame causes the test specimen to ignite and sustain burning for a minimum of
5s. This flash point and fire-point test method is a dynamic method and
depends on definite rates of temperature increases to control the precision of
the method.
Its primary use is for viscous materials having a flash point below79°C (175°F) except fuel oils, to define the
hazards of flammable and combustible materials used in shipping and safety regulations.
The temperature of the approximately 70 ml test specimen is increased rapidly at first and then at a slower
constant rate as the flash point is approached. At specified intervals a test flame is passed across the cup, to
measure the tendency of the test specimen to form a flammable mixture with air under controlled laboratory
conditions.
It is an automatic flash and fire-point tester used to examine liquid as well as highly viscous samples in the
same instrument without any additional equipment for temperature range up to 400*C.
