penetrometer ANTON PAAR type PNR-8 - to determine the resistance of materials.

The PNR 8 automatically measures the resistance of a material to penetration by a specially shaped test body. The harder the material to be tested, the more pointed and needle-like the test specimen should be.
The penetrometer is used to determine the consistency and plasticity of pasty, creamy, semi-solid and highly viscous samples.
