Ring-and-ball apparatus automatic – Infratest

Standard: EN 1427 – ASTM D36 – AASHTO P53

This ring-and-ball equipment manufactured by Infratest, automatically determines the softening point of bitumen. Two laser sensors detect the fall of the balls and determine the softening point. The temperature in the beaker is measured by an electronic system that maintains the gradient (5°C./min) according to the standards. Real-time visualization of the temperature (°C)-time (sec) graph throughout the test. A magnetic stirrer with electronic speed adjustment from 0 to 160 rpm also ensures a uniform temperature in the vessel during the test execution. The graphical interface on the touch screen allows for easy setting of the parameters and immediate execution of the test. High-resolution color display, 1/4 VGA, offers all the functions of a PC for the management and analysis of data, test results and graphs.
