Ductility Testing Apparatus

In flexible pavement construction, bitumen binders are used. It is important that bituminous material forms ductile thin film around the aggregates, which serves as a binder. The binder material not of sufficient ductility renders pervious pavement surface and leads to development of cracks. Therefore it is important to carry out the ductility tests on bituminous material. And our Ductility Testing Apparatus is apt for carrying out accurate ductility tests on the bitumen and other related material. Ductility is defined as distance in cm to which a standard briquette of bitumen can be stretched before the thread breaks. The briquette is stretched at a rate of 50mm/minute +25mm per minute at a temperature of 27^o C + 0.5^o C. We are a dependable name in offering Quality Ductility Testing Apparatus at rates that will not burn a hole in the pocket.
Specifications

• The apparatus consists of a water bath with a thermostatic heater, and a circulating pump to maintain uniform water temperature.
• One half of the briquette moulds is fixed on 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.
