The penetration test measures the hardness and softness of the bitumen.

The harder the #bitumen, the lower the penetration value and vice versa.

In this test, a penetrometer is used. It applies the needle with a load of 100gram into the bitumen surface for 5 seconds.

Grading bitumen with this test helps to use the proper bitumen for expected weather.

This video is prepared to briefly acquaint you with the #penetration_test.
