Audited Supplier * The softening point falls in with the temperature at which the binder softens beyond a fixed limit (a deformation of 25mm under the weight of a steel ball). The apparatus to measure this property is the Ring and Ball apparatus, available both in manual and automatic configurations.
* In areas with hot weather, bitumen should be more resistant to high temperatures, so a higher softening point bitumen is used. In other words, the softening point value should be higher than pavement temperature, otherwise, bitumen present in the layer will be soft and sticky.On the contrary, low temperature-resistant bitumen is used in moderate to cold climates.
* What are the characteristics of our softening point?
1. Automatic control heating rate 5±0.5ºC/min, and LED digital display.
2. Adjustable magnetic stirring speed.
3. The test is convenient and fast.
4. It can be used for softening point detection in both low and high temperature.
* Why do We Use a Softening Point Test of Bitumen?
1. Ensure the stability of road driving
Under high temperature conditions, the asphalt on the pavement is easily deformed and softened, so it is very important to evaluate the softening point of the asphalt. Through the asphalt softening point test, the softening point temperature of asphalt materials in high temperature environment can be determined, so as to ensure the stability and safety of road driving.
2. Assessing the quality of bituminous materials
Asphalt softening point test can evaluate the melting point temperature of asphalt material, so as to judge the quality of asphalt material. If the softening point of the asphalt material is lower than the specified standard, it may deform at high temperature, causing the pavement to collapse or crack, affecting the service life of the road.
3. Verify the rationality of asphalt mix ratio
Asphalt softening point test can also be used to verify the rationality of asphalt mix ratio. According to different road conditions and environmental requirements, the requirements for asphalt mix ratio are also different. Through the softening point test, it can ensure that the asphalt mix ratio meets the corresponding technical standards and road use conditions
