Auto Ring and Ball Apparatus Softening Point Tester
Automatic Ring and Ball Apparatus:
The Ring and Ball Apparatus is used to determine the Softening Point of Bitumen in the range from 30 to 157°C using the ring and ball apparatus immersed in distilled water (5 to 80°C), glycerine (32 to 160°C).
The Ring and Ball method of determining the softening point bituminous materials.
The softening point is considered to the temperature of the fluid when the ball penetrates the specimens and touches the lower plate.
Features:
1. This Ring and Ball Apparatus adopts advanced technologies such as computer intelligent control, laser automatic detection, LCD touch screen and micro printer.
2. It has linear temperature heating, uniform bath stirring and accurate test results.
3. It can do four samples or two samples at a time.
4. The Ring and Ball Apparatus (ASTM D36) has functions of automatic completion of sample testing and automatic printing of test results, it is an automatic and intelligent testing instrument for asphalt softening point with high degree of automation, fast and convenient testing, accurate and reliable testing results.
