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.

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.

Soil physical quality can be easily and quickly evaluated by using simple equipment to identify levels of soil compaction. Hence, it is necessary to know the variables responsible for changes in the soil penetration resistance (SPR).
