Penetration testing is a fast and accurate measure of the consistency of fluids, gels and pastes.
Ointments with a low consistency for example can be more thoroughly applied on the skin and more easily absorbed. On the other hand, a substance with a high consistency can be used to cover a wound effectively.Using small sample quantities the PNR 12 penetrometer from Anton Paar provides quick and easy measurements of sample consistency....
