Penetrometer: PNR 12

PNR 12 automatically measures the resistance a material provides to being pierced by a specifically shaped penetrator. The harder the test material, the more pointed and needle-like the penetrator should be. The penetrometer is used for consistency and plasticity determination of pasty, creamy, semi-solid or highly viscous samples.

Application Area:

testing consistency and plasticity in materials

A penetrometer allows a weighted cone in contact with the food material to penetrate the surface under its own weight. The distance that it penetrates in a given time is the characteristic measure that is recorded.The shape of the penetrator will be dictated by the material; a needle-like (pointed) penetrator is ideal for hard tester materials.
