Embrace a world of vast application possibilities within semi-solid samples

With an extensive accessory portfolio based on more than 60 years of experience in penetration testing, our PNR 12 penetrometer offers a vast range of application possibilities. It’s an essential tool to classify the consistency of bitumen, greases, and waxes according to international standards, such as ASTM D5, ASTM D214, ISO 2137, and EN 1426, as well as cosmetic and pharmaceutical samples according to US and EU Pharmacopoeia and other common regulations. The Brabender ExtensoGraph is the only instrument on the market that tests flour and dough under real-life conditions while complying with all the main national and international standards for stretching, extensibility and processing properties, and ensuring communication in the universal language for flour analysis: ExtensoGraph/Brabender Units (EU/BU).

Efficiently manage your data

Forget about handwritten records! With our PNR 12 penetrometer, up to 200 results are stored and ready for statistical evaluation. The minimum, maximum, average, and standard deviation of a measured series are calculated and can be easily transferred to Excel or integrated into your LIMS. The MetaBridge operating software for the Brabender ExtensoGraph lets you choose your preferred measuring standard with a click, access your measurements from any device and location, connect multiple instruments, share data automatically, and export and provide data to colleagues and third-party systems such as LIMS, ERP, or even by email.

Relax: No need to worry about industry-specific requirements

You can use PNR 12 as a test method for the most common regulations like US Pharmacopeia 915 and EU Pharmacopoeia 2.9.9. PNR 12 can be ordered with externally certified test equipment and combined with PQP-S documentation and compliance maintenance, which shows that service and support are directly from the manufacturer. The Brabender ExtensoGraph complies with the main standards in the flour and baking industry, such as ICC-Standard Nr. 114/1, AACC Method Nr. 54-10.01, and ISO 5530-2. 

Benefit from automatic surface detection

With the PNR 12’s automatic surface detection of bituminous and wax applications, reliable test results can also be measured in a water bath. Even conductive samples that contain water, like food and other materials, can be automatically detected with the electric sensor. This lets you speed up testing and improve measurement reliability, independent of the operator.

Easily identify the breaking point temperature

Providing more in-depth analytical solutions for the characterization of bitumen, the BPA 5 Fraass breaking point tester determines brittle behavior at low temperatures according to EN 12593, IP 80, and JIS K 2207. Connected to an external chiller, it can detect breaking points down to -45 °C. BPA 5 includes BPACon, a software that allows real-time analysis on a connected PC.
