WZR-3 Penetrometer
Product Overview
The WZR-3 Penetrometer is a precision laboratory instrument designed to determine the cone penetration value of lubricating grease, petroleum jelly (petrolatum), pharmaceutical ointments, cosmetics, waxes, and other semi-solid materials. By measuring the penetration depth of a standard cone under controlled conditions, the instrument accurately evaluates material consistency, softness, and hardness for quality control and product development.
Designed in accordance with GB/T 269-2023 and the relevant requirements of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the WZR-3 provides highly repeatable and stable measurement results. The instrument features a 7-inch color touchscreen, automatic timing, USB flash drive data export, RS232 communication, optional thermal printing, and storage for 800 test records, making it an ideal solution for modern quality control laboratories and research facilities.

Key Features
●High-precision cone penetration measurement for evaluating the consistency of semi-solid materials.
●Compliant with GB/T 269-2023 and Chinese Pharmacopoeia testing requirements.
●Large 7-inch color touchscreen with intuitive user interface for convenient operation.
●Automatic timing with programmable test duration from 1 to 99 seconds.
●High-resolution displacement sensor with minimum reading of 0.001 mm.
●Stores up to 800 test records for efficient data management.
●USB flash drive export and RS232 communication for easy data transfer and laboratory integration.
●Optional thermal printer for immediate test report printing.
●Excellent repeatability and long-term stability for reliable laboratory testing.

Working Principle
The WZR-3 determines the consistency of semi-solid materials using the cone penetration method.
A standard cone assembly of specified mass is positioned above the sample surface and released under controlled conditions. During the preset test time (typically 5 seconds, or a user-defined interval), the cone penetrates the sample under its own weight.
The penetration depth is measured by a high-precision displacement sensor and displayed digitally. The penetration value is expressed in 0.1 mm penetration units, where:
●Higher penetration values indicate softer materials.
●Lower penetration values indicate harder or stiffer materials.
This standardized testing method provides an objective evaluation of material consistency for quality control, product formulation, and research applications.
