Grease Cone Penetration Tester DCP-701

The instrument is designed and manufactured based on “grease and petroleum grease cone penetration assay”. At the same time the instrument also refer to the ASTM D217 standard, applicable to the determination of grease and petroleum grease consistency. The cone penetration tester uses high-precision electronic digital scale, single-chip digital timer to control cone fall time. It has easy operation and reliable performance.

Precise Consistency Measurement with the Grease Cone Penetration Tester DCP-701

Ensure optimal lubricant performance and quality control with the Grease Cone Penetration Tester DCP-701—a high-accuracy, semi-automatic instrument designed to determine the penetration hardness of greases in accordance with ASTM D217, ISO 2137, IP 50, and GB/T 269 standards. Widely used in lubricant manufacturing, R&D, and maintenance labs, the DCP-701 measures how deeply a standardized cone sinks into a grease sample under controlled conditions—providing critical data on consistency, texture, and suitability for specific applications.

Engineered for Reproducible, Standards-Compliant Testing

The DCP-701 Grease Cone Penetration Tester features a precision-guided cone assembly (150 g total mass) that automatically releases and penetrates the grease sample for exactly 5 seconds, as required by standard methods. The penetration depth is measured in 0.1 mm increments (e.g., 310 = 31.0 mm) and displayed via a digital dial gauge or optical scale. The unit includes a thermostatic sample chamber (optional) to maintain test temperature at 25°C ±0.5°C, ensuring consistent results.

Compliant with ASTM D217 & ISO 2137 – Validated for worked, unworked, and block greases.
Automatic Cone Release Mechanism – Eliminates manual timing errors for improved repeatability.
Digital or Analog Readout Options – High-resolution digital display (±0.1 mm) or precision optical scale.
Thermostatic Sample Chamber (Optional) – Maintains 25°C for temperature-sensitive tests.
Includes Standard Cone & Container – Meets dimensional tolerances per ASTM/ISO specifications.
Compact, Benchtop Design – Ideal for QC labs, grease blenders, and industrial maintenance facilities.

Trusted for Lubricant Formulation and Field Performance

Cone penetration directly correlates with grease consistency—critical for selecting the right NLGI grade (e.g., #000 to #6) for bearings, chassis, or high-temperature applications. The DCP-701 enables manufacturers to verify batch uniformity, detect contamination, or assess mechanical stability after working. Maintenance teams also use it to evaluate in-service grease degradation.

Whether you’re developing a new lithium-complex grease or troubleshooting bearing failure, the Grease Cone Penetration Tester DCP-701 delivers reliable, standardized data you can trust.

Know your grease. Ensure performance. Prevent failure.
