Load the Sample
To avoid transferring skin oils, it is recommended to wear latex gloves when handling penetrometers. Skin oils may affect results. |
- Enter the sample file name (or identifier) on the Sample Data Worksheet .
- Weigh the sample using an analytical balance. Record the mass on the data sheet as Sample mass.
- Hold the penetrometer with the stem down and carefully pour the sample into the bulb.
When pouring powders into the bulb, place a finger over the stem opening in the center of the bulb so that powder does not enter the stem. A small funnel is useful for loading powders. Large granules or chunks may be loaded with forceps.
