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.

Description

Working Principle

The drop rod is manually pulled upwards, adjusted by the scale and locked resp. released by a knurled screw. The different penetrators are also clamped resp. changed by a knurled screw. Additional weights can be placed directly onto the drop rod.

The exact test procedure is described within the respective standard.
