KN-36 Softening Point of Asphalt (Ring-and-Ball Test Apparatus)

Overview

        KN-36 Softening Point of Asphalt (Ring-and-Ball Test apparatus) conforms to the ASTM D36 Standard Test Method for Softening Point of Bitumen (Ring-and-Ball Apparatus). The apparatus covers the determination of the softening point of bitumen in the range from 30 to 160°C [86 to 320°F] using the ring-and-ball apparatus immersed in distilled water [30 to 80°C] or USP glycerin (above 80 to 160°C).

Features

1. Computer control, photoelectric detection, LCD display, micro printer.

2. Linear heating, evenly stirring

3. Be able to do two tests simultaneously

4. Results displayed by the LCD and can be printed via the printer

5. Temperature measuring range:

1. Sample softening point＜80℃, distilled water as the  heating medium, +5~+80℃
