Asphalt and Bitumen Testing Equipment

Ring and Ball Apparatus is used to determine the softening point of bitumen, the temperature at which a bituminous sample softens.

Penetration Cone is used for empirical estimation of the consistency of lubricating grease and petroleum, made of brass for durability.

Standard Tar Viscometer is used for determining the viscosity of cutback bitumen and road oil, featuring a chrome-plated design.

Redwood Viscometer determines the viscosity of all oils, expressed in Redwood seconds at the test temperature, suitable for bitumen testing.

Simple Ford Cup of the efflux type is used for approximate measurements of apparent viscosity for control of consistency in asphalt materials.

Flash Point Apparatus (Pensky Martens) is designed as per IS 1209-1978 for determining the closed flash point of asphalt and petroleum products.

The Ductility Testing Machine is used to determine the ductility of bituminous materials in a briquette mould by measuring the breaking point.

Centrifuge Extractor (Electrical) is used for determination and checking of bitumen percentage in bituminous mix, using solvent extraction.

Bitumen Penetration Kit includes a penetration needle, a transfer dish made of copper, and a set of two aluminum sample containers.

Benkelman Beam utilizes the technique of using a balanced beam in conjunction with a suitable vehicle to measure road flexure.

This machine is used for determination of theoretical density of asphalt mixer by vacuum method for applications such as asphalt mix design.

Asphalt Content Tester, also known as Asphalt Content Furnace or Binder Ignition Furnace, is used to determine the asphalt content of mixes.
