Bitumen Penetrometer
It may be defined as the hardness softness of the bitumen by measuring the depth in tenth of a millimeter to which standard loaded needle will penetrate vertically in five minutes the penetration of bituminous material is the distance in tenth of a millimetre that a standard needle will penetrate vertically into a sample of the material under standard conditions of temperature load and time.
