Designed for speed and accuracy, this ring and ball apparatus automatically determines the softening point of asphalts and pitches.
Two laser sensors detect the fall of the ball, detecting and recording the softening point of the test material.
Touch-screen graphical interface allows for easy setup of the parameters and the immediate execution of the test. The high-resolution color display offers all functions of a PC for the management and analysis of data, test results and graphs.
Bath temperature is measured by an electronic system maintaining the gradient (5°C/min) as specified by the standard.
Provides real-time visualization of the temperature/time graph for the entire test.
A magnetic stirrer with electronic speed adjustment from 0 to 160rpm also ensures a uniform temperature in the vessel during the complete test.
Unit provides the ability to test with boiled distilled water for softening points from 30 to 80°C and 80° up to 150°C using glycerol.
Export data to a PC via USB flash drive or SD card with the ability to edit the data easily with Excel. Multiple languages are built in.
