Penetrometers The Petrotest® microprocessor controlled PNR-12 Penetrometer is used for ASTM approved penetration applications (AASHTO for asphalt) including bituminous materials, soaps, rubber, waxes, and greases. The PNR-12 digitally displays test conditions and measurement results with 1/100 mm resolution!
RKA-5 Softening Point by Ring & Ball The Petrotest® RKA-5 Automatic Ring and Ball Tester includes all of the necessary components for performing ASTM D36 & AASHTO T53 for the Determination of Softening Point of Bitumen and ASTM E28, Determination of the Softening Point of Resins.
DDA-3 Tensile Stress Ductilometer Petrotest's® fully automatic model DDA-3 tensile stress ductilometer tests bituminous materials according to ASTM D 113. It has a high-precision, variable stepper motor that allows for the constant measurement of stretch and force.
BPA-5 Breaking Point The Petrotest® BPA-5 Fatigue and Breaking Point Tester uses the latest power sensor technology to automatically detect the stress and breaking point of paints, rubbers, finishes, asphalts and other coatings.
