Features:
-
Designed for testing ductility of bituminous materials used in flexible pavement construction.
-
Measures distance (cm) a bitumen briquette can be stretched before thread breaks, indicating ductility.
-
Briquette stretched at 50 mm/min ± 25 mm/min at 27ºC ± 0.5ºC.
-
Water bath with thermostatic/digital temperature control and circulating pump for uniform temperature maintenance.
-
Briquette mould halves fixed on fixed plate and carrier sliding over rotating threaded shaft with clutch.
-
Two speeds for stretching: 5 cm/min and 1 cm/min, selectable via clutch.
