It measures the consistency of lubricating grease, which is a key indicator of its hardness or softness. This helps engineers determine if a grease is suitable for a specific application, such as high-temperature bearings or heavy-load gears.
Yes, the PS-ZRD03 is designed specifically to meet the ASTM D217 standard, making it suitable for official quality control and certification laboratories worldwide.
Greater penetration depth indicates a softer grease, while lower penetration depth indicates a harder grease. These values are used to classify grease into NLGI grades.
While primarily a laboratory instrument, its precision makes it ideal for maintenance technicians to monitor grease degradation in machinery, helping detect contamination or breakdown early.
The LCD display provides a precise reading of 0.01mm, removing the ambiguity and parallax errors associated with manual scale reading, thus ensuring higher data integrity.
Calibration intervals depend on usage frequency and lab standards, but it is recommended to check the probe's integrity and the device's accuracy periodically using standard reference materials.
