DUCTILITY TESTING MACHINE - DIGITAL TEMP. CONTROL - (NON REFRIGERATED) - IS 1208

Application and principle:

Ductility is defined as distance in cms to which a standard briquette of bitumen can be stretched before the thread breaks. The briquette is stretched at a rate of 50 mm/min. ± 2.5mm per minute at a temperature of 27°C ± 2°C

Apparatus Description:

The apparatus consists of water bath with a Digital Controlled heater, and a circulating pump to maintain uniform water temperature. One half of the briquette moulds is fixed in a fixed plate in the water bath, the other half of the briquette mould is fixed to a carrier, which slides over a rotating threaded shaft with a clutch. The motor and gears to rotate the shaft are housed in a cabinet fixed above the other end of the bath. A pointer fixed to the carrier moves over a scale graduated from 0‑100 cm x 1mm fixed on the bath with "0" (Zero) of the scale towards the fixed plates side. The rotating shaft has 2 speeds of travel for the bracket, 5 cm/min and 1 cm/min ‑ selected by a clutch. Water bath inside is of stainless steel with insulation and water drain cock . A heater with a Digital controller is fitted inside the water bath. Control switches for motor, stirrer, heater and indicator lamps are fixed at a convenient place on the water bath. Complete with three briquette moulds and one base plate, All supply single phase. 

Note: Refrigerated ductility testing machine to operate at 27 °C with control accuracy of ± 0.5 °C also available. Price on request.
