Design
The drop rod is guided almost frictionless within a stand, which is firmly mounted onto the base plate of the instrument. The different penetrators are easy to insert into
the drop rod by a knurled screw. The required additional weights will be set onto the platform at the upper end of the drop rod. An adjustable scale anables the specific adjustment of the drop height. The ambient temperature is measured by an integrated reference thermometer. A water basin for tests under water is part of the standard delivery.
