Available Variants:
- Electrically Operated DC Motor
- Electrically Operated
- Hand Operated With Beaker
- Programmable Digital ASTM D36
Common Details:
- Also called Softening Point Apparatus.
- This apparatus is meant for determination of softening point of bituminous materials according to IP 58 and IS 1205.
- Softening point is that temp. at which the specimen under test becomes soft enough to allow a steel ball of specific dimension to fall a required distance under test condition.
- The apparatus consist of Glass beaker of heat resistant glass of internal dia 8.5 cm X 12 cm depth (approx.), Two steel balls each of 9.5mm dia, Two tapered brass rings, Two ball guides, ring stand and a stirrer.
Variant Details:
