Used to determine the bituminous ductility, that is to say, the distance to which a briquette of molten bitumen can be extended under controlled conditions, before its breaking. The Ductilometer consists of a moving carriage traveling along guideways. The carriage is driven by an electrical motor, inside a large tank that is fitted with a digital thermostat, immersion electric heater, cooling coil for cold water circulation, and pump unit. This model works automatically at a speed of 50 mm/min. and it's max. stroke is 1500 mm. The tank and the external frame are all made from stainless steel with fiberglass insulation. The water bath temperature is maintained constant at 25°C ± 0,5°C. by a digital thermoregulator. The unit is equipped with a dual safety thermostat to prevent accidental overtemperatures.
Max. traction force: 300 N, accuracy: ± 0,1 N
The ductilometer can accept up to 3 specimens simultaneously. Supplied complete “except” for the briquette mold and base plate must be ordered separately (see accessories).
Power supply: 230V 1 ph 50 Hz 1000 W
Dimensions: 2140x350x400 mm Weight: 95 Kg
