Drug Cone Penetration Tester

YJ-0983 Drug Penetrometer (Standard with No. I Cone)

This instrument is designed and manufactured in accordance with the technical requirements and relevant regulations of the 2020 Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China, Part IV, "0983 Cone Penetration Test Method." It is primarily suitable for semi-solid substances such as vaseline, ointments, eye ointments, and their common base materials (e.g., vaseline, lanolin, beeswax), to control properties like hardness and viscosity, thereby avoiding impacts on the spreadability of medicinal applications. Drug cone penetration refers to the use of free-fall motion at 25°C, where a cone of specified mass is released downward from the penetrometer, and the depth of penetration into the test sample within 5 seconds after release is measured.

I. Main Features

1. Digital display shows penetration value, clear and醒目.
2. The penetration time control device has 6 settings with high timing accuracy.
3. Equipped with electric coarse and fine adjustment for the lifting frame, facilitating easy and accurate cone alignment.

4. Cone rod assembly mass is precise, strictly compliant with standards, and allows for quick and convenient calibration.
5. Versatile machine; optional accessories include standard needles, sample dishes, thermometers, and weights, making it suitable for measurements under national standards GB/T 4509-1998, GB/T 4509-2010, and highway standard JTG E20-2011 T0604-2011.

The most notable features of this instrument are: advanced mechanical design for easy height adjustment; high-precision digital penetration tester for reliable measurement results.
