Shipping information

Qualitest products ship internationally from the United States directly to your New Zealand address. Most orders dispatch within 5-10 business days of order placement. Estimated delivery to New Zealand is 10-20 business days from dispatch, depending on freight mode, customs clearance, and carrier schedules.

Delivery timeframes for larger or heavier items may vary. Some products may be subject to extended lead times depending on stock availability at the time of order. For time-sensitive orders, contact us before purchasing to confirm current lead time.

Free shipping applies to all orders. Prices displayed are exclusive of GST. GST will be added at checkout and all import and customs costs are managed by TestingCore - there are no additional charges on delivery.

Returns & warranty

Qualitest products are covered by manufacturer warranties against defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty periods vary by product - many instruments in the Qualitest range carry a 12-month manufacturer warranty, and selected products such as the Qualitest CMX ultrasonic thickness gauge series carry a 2-year warranty. Contact us for specific warranty details for the product you are purchasing.

Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery for products in original, unused condition with all original packaging and accessories intact. Due to the international nature of these shipments, return freight costs are the responsibility of the buyer unless the item arrived damaged or was incorrectly supplied. Items that have been used, installed, calibrated, or modified are not eligible for return.

For warranty claims or return requests, contact us at sales@testingcore.com or call 09 558 3100.

The QualiPen-1000Auto is an automatic penetrometer built for precise, efficient asphalt testing in both lab and industrial settings. It measures needle penetration across various asphalt types - petroleum asphalt, modified asphalt, and residues from emulsified or liquid asphalt - to help pin down viscosity and consistency.

Under standard test conditions (a 25℃ ± 0.1℃ constant-temperature bath, 100g standard needle, 5-second vertical free fall), it measures how deep the needle sinks into the sample and calculates the penetration value automatically. That number reflects how hard or soft the material is - useful data for quality control in road construction and asphalt formulation.

It's not limited to asphalt, either - the QualiPen-1000Auto also handles consistency testing for:

  • Solid fine particles, powders, colloids, and frozen materials
  • Food industry materials like cheese, gum, butter, margarine, cream, and fermented products

Across transportation, highway engineering, or food production, it's a versatile, accurate, and easy-to-use way to determine penetration characteristics - combining solid automation with cost-effective performance for modern labs and QC departments.

  • Touchscreen interface keeps operation simple
  • Built-in constant-temperature system - semiconductor refrigeration with PID control, accurate to ±0.1°C
  • Stepper motor-driven lead screw makes needle adjustment quick and precise
  • Professional-grade needles - certified, third-party verified, 2.5±0.05g weight spec
  • Advanced data processing automatically works out Penetration Index (PI), equivalent softening point (T800), and equivalent brittle point (T1.2)
  • 485 interface with ModBus support for real-time data upload and network integration
  • Stores up to 200 groups of data internally
