softening point tester Introduction:
Softening Point Tester is a precision Ring and Ball Softening Point Test Instrument to determine the Softening Point and the Dropping Point of a wide range of samples including wax, resin, lubricants, fat, grease and related sample materials.
softening point tester application:
By performing the softening point test of bitumen, we can determine whether the given bitumen sample meets the specification requirements for softening point as given in the standards.
Hence, the softening point test of bitumen helps in knowing the maximum temperature to which the given bitumen can be exposed. This is utilized while using bitumen as a binder for road construction. Softening point value gives the temperature at which the bitumen should be heated before using it for pavement construction.
