Needle Penetration of Petroleum Waxes

Penetration tests are performed on petroleum products to determine consistency and shear stability for design, quality control and identification purposes. A standard cone or needle is released from a penetrometer and allowed to drop freely into the sample for 5 seconds at constant temperature. The depth of penetration of the cone or needle into the sample is measured in tenths of a millimeter by the pentrometer
