Bitumen Testing Apparatus

Cat No : AT-226
NAME : Bitumen Penetration Test Apparatus
Quality Standard : As Per IS 1203

Specification :
Bitumen Penetration Test Apparatus are used for testing bitumen, tar, cement and soils. A Chosen force is applied over a given area for a known period of time and the depth of penetration or the depression made in the sample is measured in tenths of a millimeter which is expressed as a penetration number. An accurately machined aluminium base with in- set spirit level in these bitumen penetration test apparatus has been designed to facilitate penetration tests to be made over a wide surface area of sample, Adjustable feet are provided in the base for leveling and a head support, mounted on a vertical rod which can be adjusted for head, a rack & pinion and pointer assembly provides for fine adjustments of needle or cone tip to sample incorporated a slipping clutch mechanism which makes reading of penetration and subsequent resetting a simple and accurate operation. Each Penetrometer is supplied with a Plunger and Needle weighing 50g for testing bituminous products, one of each 50gm & 100gm weights, and one of each aluminium sampling containers 55mm dia x 53mm ht & 55mm dia x 35mm ht.

NAME : Bitumen Extraction Test Apparatus

Specification :
For determining bitumen percentage in Bituminous paving mixtures. Bitumen Extraction Test Apparatus has a removable, precision machined, aluminium rotor bowl, mounted on a vertical shaft. A filter paper disc is pressed in-between the rotor bowl and cover plate by tightening a knurled nut. The bowl assembly is enclosed in a housing operating model; the rotor bowl is coupled to a motor. The solvent may be introduced during test through a cup on the housing cover. The apparatus is supplied complete with a Pack (50 Circles) of Filter Paper.

NAME : Ring & Ball (Softening Point) Test Apparatus
Quality Standard : As Per IS 1205

Ring & Ball (Softening Point) Test Apparatus is used for determination of softening point of bituminous materials. Softening point is that temperature at which the specimen under test becomes soft enough to allow a steel ball of specific dimensions to fall a required distance under test conditions.



Specification :

• Heating power: 800 W
• Capacity of beaker: 1000 ml
• Temperature resolution: 0.01 ºC
• Power supply: AC 220V (-5%~10%), 50 Hz
