Penetration resistance testing involves the insertion of a probe into a material with thickness. This can determine the change of state of a material that cures or sets, or the texture of a material (e.g. food, pharmaceutical preparations, or cosmetics) whose firmness is a measure of a quality. Cone probes are used for gels or viscous materials, needle probes for silicone pharmaceutical stoppers, and broader probes for penetrometers as used in cements and concretes.
Operated via an easy-to-use touch screen, our MultiTest-xt test stands enable fast and efficient routine testing on the production floor with one complete solution.
Our entry-level MultiTest-dV test stands are a cost-effective solution for straightforward tension and compression tests.
For simple test applications a Mecmesin manual test stand, such as an MDD used with either a BFG or CFG digital force gauge offers an affordable solution.
The Mecmesin Shotcrete Penetrometer is a complete portable system for testing the compressive strength of the initial stage of young sprayed concrete to EN ISO 14488-2 (Method A). The kit includes:
