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 100-gram into the bitumen surface for 5 seconds.
Grading bitumen with this test helps to use the proper bitumen for expected weather.
