FAQs of Ring And Ball Apparatus:
Q: How does the Ring and Ball Apparatus determine the softening point of bituminous materials?
A: This apparatus heats two samples simultaneously in a controlled environment using its built-in electric heater. As the temperature increases, the steel balls press down on the rings filled with bituminous material. The softening point is determined when the material allows the ball to drop a specified distance, as monitored on the analog dial.
Q: What are the main advantages of using this apparatus compared to alternatives?
A: The main advantages include competitive pricing, precise manual temperature control, reliable accuracy (1C), and enhanced durability due to its corrosion-resistant, powder-coated frame. Its bench-top design and robust construction make it an ideal choice for laboratories seeking consistent and repeatable results.
Q: When should the apparatus be used in asphalt or bitumen testing?
A: It should be used whenever the softening point or temperature sensitivity of bituminous materials is criticalparticularly for quality control, research, and material specification compliance in road construction and petroleum product laboratories.
Q: Where can the apparatus be installed and operated safely?
A: The bench-top design enables safe installation in most laboratory environments with access to a 220240V AC power supply. Ensure placement on a stable, level surface with adequate ventilation during operation for optimal safety and performance.
Q: What items and accessories are included in the standard apparatus package?
A: Each unit includes two copper/brass rings, two steel balls, a heat-resistant glass beaker, a ball positioning guide, a ring holder, a support assembly, ball centering guides, and a thermometer holder (thermometer not included).
