• The container should not be moved while needle penetrates into

sample.
• The sample should be free from any external materials.
• Benzene is used to clean up the needle and dried before penetration.
• Penetration test of bitumen is applied exclusively to bitumen. Tars
being soft, penetration test on these materials cannot be carried out.
