ASTM D36 Automatic Ring and Ball Tester Softening Point Apparatus
The asphalt softening point tester is a professional instrument used to determine the softening point of asphalt. The instrument generally consists of a chassis bracket, a touch screen human-machine interface, a screw lifting system, a heating and temperature adjustment system, a laser detection system, a magnetic stirring system, etc. It has the characteristics of precise temperature control, convenient operation, and automatic detection, and can be widely used in asphalt production enterprises, highway and bridge construction units, and related scientific research institutions to help evaluate the heat resistance and thermal stability of asphalt, providing important quality references for road construction and other projects.
Preface of GD-2806H Automatic Ring-and-Ball Softening Point Tester:
The ring and ball apparatus is designed and made as ASTM D36 Standard Test Method for Softening of Bitumen (Ring-and-Ball Apparatus).
The instrument is used to determine softening point of petroleum asphalt, coal pitch, liquid petroleum asphalt, and various of asphalts.
The instrument can be widely used for asphalt manufacturing companies, highway and bridge construction companies, relative colleges and universities, and scientific research institutes.
1. The ring and ball apparatus adopts advanced technologies such as computer intelligent control, laser automatic detection, LCD touch screen and micro printer.It has linear temperature heating, uniform bath stirring and accurate test results.
2. asphalt softening point tester can do four samples or two samples at a time.
3. Softening point tester has functions of automatic completion of sample testing and automatic printing of test results.
4. asphalt softening point tester 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.

Softening point test bath liquid medium selection:
Range |
Liquid medium |
Memo |
<35ºC (higher than 0ºC) |
Distilled water and glycol 1+1 mixture |
Softening point range 0ºC~35ºC,select 1:1 distilled water and glycol mixture as the medium. |
0ºC~35ºC |
The mixture of Water and Glycerin 1+1(volume ratio) |
35ºC~80ºC |
Distilled water or deionized water |
The boiled water cooled to 5ºC~27ºC. |
80ºC~150ºC |
Glycerin |
The water content of reused glycerin will be increased and influence the test results.If the any appearance change of glycerin, pls change new one. |
>150ºC |
Silicone oil(50cSt viscosity) |
If the any appearance change of silicone oil,pls change new one.Don't use any silicone oil with gelatin,which means degradation. |
