SL-OA69 ISO2137 Intelligent Cone Penetration Tester

The intelligent penetration tester is an innovative patented product with independent intellectual property rights, designed and manufactured in compliance with Chinese national standard GB/T 269-91 and international standard ISO2137 for determining grease and petroleum penetration.

Penetration is a key index for measuring grease viscosity and hardness, representing the depth (in 0.1mm units) that a cone falls into a sample under specified load, time, and temperature conditions. Higher penetration values indicate softer grease, while lower values indicate harder consistency.

• Measuring viscosity of greases and petroleum-based fats
• Determining viscosity of oil-containing waxes without degreasing
• Compliance testing for medical vaseline (GB1790-2003 standard)
• Assessing softness and hardness of greases, vaseline, medical ointments, and semi-solid substances
• Critical role in product design, quality control, and characterization
• Wide application in medical, electronic, and food industries

FAQ

Q1: What is this equipment used for?
This instrument measures the cone penetration of lubricating greases and petroleum-based fats. Penetration is the depth (in 0.1mm units) that a standardized cone falls into the sample under specified load, time, and temperature conditions – it indicates the viscosity and hardness of the grease.

Q2: What standards does it comply with?
The instrument is designed and manufactured in accordance with GB/T 269-91 “Determination of Penetration of Grease and Petroleum Grease” and the international standard ISO 2137 “Determination of Penetration of Grease and Petroleum”.

Q3: What is the measurement range?
The measuring range is 0-620 penetration units.

Q4: What temperature control capabilities does it have?
The thermostatic waterbath offers a temperature range of 0.00°C to 99.99°C, with low temperature capability down to 20°C below ambient temperature and high temperature up to 60.00°C. Temperature control accuracy is ≤±0.5°C.

Q5: What sensor technology does it use?
The instrument uses a high-precision LVDT displacement sensor with a split structure that ensures no friction when the cone rod drops. The displacement range is 0-640mm with a display resolution of 0.01mm (equivalent to 0.1 cone penetration) and relative displacement accuracy of ≤±0.1mm.

Q6: What is the mass of the sliding component?
The full-size sliding component has a total mass of 150±0.05g, comprising a cone mass of 102.5±0.05g and a cone rod mass of 47.5±0.05g, complying with GB/T 269-91 requirements.

Q7: What materials can be tested?
The instrument is suitable for testing lubricating greases, petroleum-based fats (petrolatum/vaseline), oil-containing waxes, medical ointments, and other semi-solid substances.

Q8: What industries use this equipment?
This instrument is widely used in medical, electronic, food, petroleum, and lubricant industries for product design, quality control, and product characterization.
