*NOTE This Penetrometer has been expressly manufactured on specific request of “Italcementi group ” cement factory.
Used for determining the initial and final setting time of hydraulic binders. This instrument automatically measures and records the time needed by a cement paste to reach a pre-established consistency degree.
The setting of the specimen is measured in static conditions; it is continuously and automatically recorded on a diagram allowing an accurate and uniform determination of the initial, intermediate and final hardening process.
The operator obtains a graph with the results of each tested specimen, accurately showing the progressive increasing of the consistency-time ratio (consistogram).
The instrument automatically cut-off at the end of the test.

THE PENETROMETER IS SUPPLIED COMPLETE WITH:

• two penetration needles
• two plastic moulds dia.70/80 h 40 mm complete with base and humidity hopper
• two writing ink pens
• 100 recording diagrams
