1.1 本试验方法包括使用贯入仪测量矿脂的渗透，作为稠度的经验测量。 1.2 以国际单位制表示的数值应视为标准。括号中给出的值仅供参考。 1.3 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.4 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 5.1 矿脂是从石油中获得的半固态碳氢化合物的纯净混合物，通常被描述为浮质。锥入度是测量矿脂硬度或稠度的一种方法。此类测量有助于选择或指定具有特定稠度或硬度的矿脂，或两者兼而有之。锥体贯入度值可能与最终用途功能特性相关，也可能与最终用途功能特性无关。

1.1 This test method covers measuring with a penetrometer the penetration of petrolatum as an empirical measure of consistency. 1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only. 1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 5.1 Petrolatum is a purified mixture of semi-solid hydrocarbons obtained from petroleum and is often described as an unctuous mass. Cone penetration is a means of measuring the firmness or consistency of petrolatum. Such measurements are useful for selecting or specifying, or both, a petrolatum of a particular consistency or firmness. Cone penetration values may or may not correlate with end-use functional properties.
