Product Information:

The Automatic Digital Ring and Ball Apparatus is an advanced testing device engineered to accurately measure the softening point of bituminous substances like asphalt and pitch. It meets international testing standards and is ideally suited for use in laboratories and quality control environments where accuracy and efficiency are critical.

  • Two laser sensors detect the balls fall determining the softening point.
  • 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 fan cooling system enables to quickly cool down the samples, allowing to perform many more tests per day.
  • The touch-screen graphical interface allows an easy set up of the parameters and the immediate execution of the test.
  • High resolution colour display 800 x 480 pixel, offers all the functions of a PC for the management and analysis of data, test results, and graphs.

 

Two test parameters can be selected in the microprocessor menu:

  • Test on boiled distilled water for softening point from 30 to 80 °C.
  • Test on glycerol for softening point from 80 up to 150 °C.


The tester is composed of:

  • Ceramic-glass heating plate.
  • Steel balls centering device.
  • Temperature probe.
  • Cooling fan.
  • USB/SD card slot.
