FAQ's of Hand Operated Standard Penetrometer:
Q: How is the Hand Operated Standard Penetrometer used in laboratory settings?
A: The penetrometer is manually operated by pressing the plunger, fitted with a cone or needle, into the testing material. The depth of penetration, indicated on the 0 to 40 mm scale, allows technicians to assess material consistency, such as firmness or viscosity, in various laboratory and hospital samples.
Q: What are the material specifications of this penetrometer?
A: The main body of the penetrometer is constructed from brass and finished with chrome plating for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance. It also incorporates cast iron in its design, supporting reliable performance and longevity.
Q: When should I use a standard penetrometer for testing?
A: Use the standard penetrometer whenever you need to evaluate the consistency or firmness of materials, typically during quality control procedures in laboratories or hospitals. It is particularly valuable when accurate and repeatable consistency testing is required by regulatory or research protocols.
Q: Where can this penetrometer be sourced in India?
A: This hand operated standard penetrometer is available through a network of authorized distributors, manufacturers, exporters, suppliers, and traders across India. It can often be procured directly from laboratory equipment suppliers or online industrial stores.
Q: What is the measuring range of the scale, and how does it benefit the user?
A: The penetrometer features a scale graduated from 0 to 40 mm, which allows for precise measurement of penetration depth. This helps users obtain accurate data on the physical properties of tested samples, ensuring dependable test results.
Q: How does the included carrying case add to the penetrometer's practicality?
A: The carrying case provides convenient storage and transport for the penetrometer, protecting it and its accessories (such as the cone/needle) from damage or loss. This makes it easier to use the device in various settings while maintaining its accuracy and longevity.
