The Automatic Ring and Ball Testeris a high-precision, microprocessor-controlled instrument used to determine the softening point of bituminous materials. It provides a completely automated testing environment, utilizing infrared sensors to detect the exact moment of specimen failure, ensuring consistent results that are free from human observation error.

Key Performance Features

• Fully Automated Cycle: Automatically controls the heating rate at exactly 5°C/min (as mandated by standards), detects the softening point via laser sensors, and records the results.
• Dual-Test Capacity: Equipped to test two samples simultaneously, providing the individual softening points and the average value.
• Smart Heating Control: Employs a high-performance induction heating system and a magnetic stirrer to ensure perfect temperature uniformity throughout the liquid medium (water or glycerol).
• Advanced User Interface: Features a large, high-resolution touch-screen for real-time graphing of the temperature/time curve and digital data management.
• Safety & Cooling: Built-in cooling system allows the operator to quickly lower the temperature of the beaker after a test, increasing laboratory throughput.
