Product Description
Since inception, we are engaged in catering to the variegated demands of the customers by bringing forth excellently designed Ductility Testing Machine. The offered range is widely used for determining the ductility of bitumen in diverse construction sectors. For this, a molten sample of bitumen in firstly poured into a standard mold, which is allowed to be cooled at room temperature. This is then placed in a water bath for allowing the briquette to be brought at test temperature before mounting it in the testing machine.
Construction & working:
- Electric pump circulate & heater
- Thermostatically controlled temperature
- Two travel rates- 5 cm/min and 1 cm/min
- Carriage moving over a lead screw
- Electric motor driven reduction gear unit for constant speed & consistent operation
- Assembly mounted with a stainless steel lined water bath encased in metal bound hardwood
Reliable Test StandardsThis ductility testing machine adheres strictly to IS 1208 standards, ensuring your laboratory results are accurate and repeatable. With a standard specimen length of 75 mm (customization available) and three test bar moulds, it optimizes the evaluation of bitumen flexibility and ductility under varied conditions.
Advanced Safety and DurabilityConstructed from high-quality stainless steel, the double-walled bath ensures extended longevity and resistance to corrosion. Overload and overheating protection mechanisms safeguard operators and guarantee uninterrupted laboratory operations, making it suitable for heavy-duty use.
User-friendly Digital OperationA straightforward manual operating method is complemented by easily readable digital or analog displacement displays. The digital control panel features auto cut-off, allowing precise regulation over the travel rate (50 2.5 mm/min) and maintaining test consistency for reliable analysis.
FAQ's of Ductility Testing Machines:
Q: How does the ductility testing machine ensure accurate measurements?
A: This machine uses a digital or analog displacement scale to display elongation, maintaining a precise travel rate of 50 2.5 mm/min. Its double-walled bath and thermostat-controlled heating guarantee consistent temperature, aligning with IS 1208 standards to deliver repeatable and precise results.
Q: What materials and safety features are integrated into the machine?
A: Manufactured from premium stainless steel, the machine offers durability and corrosion resistance. It is equipped with overload and overheating protection, ensuring safe operation for laboratory personnel and equipment during testing.
Q: When should I choose a custom specimen length?
A: Custom specimen lengths are useful when testing samples that differ from the standard 75 mm, allowing for specification matching required by unique testing standards or specialized applications. You can order your machine with tailored mould sizes as needed.
Q: Where is this ductility testing machine most commonly used?
A: It is most commonly utilized in laboratory environments for research, quality control, and analysis of bituminous materials' ductility. Its robust features make it suitable for institutions, industrial labs, and materials testing agencies across India.
Q: What is the process for conducting a ductility test with this machine?
A: Insert prepared bitumen samples into the three provided moulds, immerse them in the stainless steel bath, and set the desired temperature and travel rate. Start the test manually; the machine elongates the samples until rupture, while displacement is digitally recorded.
Q: How does the digital control panel enhance the testing process?
A: The digital control panel allows for straightforward control of test parameters, featuring automatic cut-off to prevent overextension and easy monitoring of displacement, thus reducing the risk of operator error and improving test accuracy and safety.
