Ductilometer – Matest

B054 (Image 1) – Ductilometer

Used to determine the bituminous ductility, that is the distance to which a briquette of molten bitumen can be extended under controlled conditions, before breaking. The Ductilometer basically consists of a moving carriage travelling along guide ways. The carriage is driven by an electrical motor, inside a large tank is fitted with digital thermostat, immersion electric heater, cooling coil for cold water circulation and pump unit.

Max. traction force: 300 N, accuracy: ± 0.1 N
The ductilometer can accept up to 3 specimens simultaneously.
Supplied complete except for the briquette mould and base plate that must be ordered separately (see accessories).

Power supply: 230V 1 ph 50 Hz 750 W
Dimensions: 1880x360x680 mm
Weight: 95 kg

B055-10 (image 2) – Ductilometer with DAS (Data Acquisition System)

Technical and mechanical specifications: same to mod. B054, but upgraded with:

• Cyber-plus Progress data acquisition and processing system, 7″ colour touch-screen display. It automatically performs data acquisition and processing. Directly connected to printer (accessory) via USB it prints the test certificate. Equipped with slots for external pendrive or SD card infinite memory support with direct connection to PC.
• One electric load cell 50 N capacity complete with installation and calibration. (Possibility to install up to 3 cells).
  Supplied without briquette mould and base (see accessories).
