Complies to following International Standard:
ASTM D5, ASTM D217, ASTM D937, ASTM D1321
- ASTM D5 measures the consistency of bituminous materials by the penetration of a needle, useful for applications such as road construction and roofing.
- ASTM D217 measures the consistency of lubricating greases by the penetration of a cone, important for ensuring the right grease consistency for machinery lubrication.
- ASTM D937 measures the consistency of petrolatum by the penetration of a cone, providing important data for its use in products like ointments and lubricants.
- ASTM D1321 measures the hardness of waxes by the penetration of a needle, crucial for applications in candles, coatings, and packaging materials.
All tests provide critical information on the physical properties of materials, which are essential for their proper application and performance in their respective fields.
