Bitumen is increasingly being used for petroleum production; conversion of bitumen into synthetic crude oil. Although naturally occurring, bitumen can also be made through distillation of crude oil. Primarily used in the petrochemical market, bitumen testing equipment is used to test and characterize various properties of bitumen, such as softening point, penetration, breaking point, and more. Each type of bitumen tester provides distinct method analysis. There several types of bitumen testing equipment include ring and ball apparatus, softening point testers, penetrometers, breaking point testers, film stripping devices, ductility testers, and other testing machines. Key considerations when purchasing asphalt testing equipment include: type, method, and application. Your petro testing requirements will determine the type of tester needed. Of the various types of asphalt and bitumen testing equipment, also be sure to note the testing standards associated with each instrument type.

| Description | PNR 12 Penetrometer and Texture Tester measures material resistance for applications in testing consistency and plasticity in materials, such as creams, pastes, semi-solids, or viscous materials. The shape of the penetrator will be dictated by the material; a needle-like (pointed) penetrator is PNR 12 Penetrometer and Texture Tester measures material resistance for applications in testing consistency and plasticity in materials, such as creams, pastes, semi-solids, or viscous materials. The shape of the penetrator will be dictated by the material; a needle-like (pointed) penetrator is ideal for hard tester materials.
