About Ductility Testing Machine
The
Ductility Testing Machine, offered by us is important bitumen testing equipment that is an electrically operated machine which is designed to test three specimens simultaneously. It is used for determining ductility of shaped asphalt/cement or semi-solid bitumen. We provide our customers some of the best quality Ductility Testing Machines, manufactured by us using excellent raw materials to ensure good functionality and durability.
Components : The machine consists of a moving carriage that moves over a lead screw. An electric motor driven reduction gear ascertains trouble-free and constant speed enabling continuous operation. The whole assembly is mounted by a stainless steel water bath completely enclosed in a metal housing having glass wool insulation. It is equipped with an electric pump circulator and a heater. Herein, the temperature is controlled thermostatically. The machine is fitted with three ductility molds and has two rates of travel; 10 mm & 50 mm.
Precision in Asphalt TestingOur Ductility Testing Machine offers unmatched accuracy and control for evaluating the elongation characteristics of bitumen under standardized conditions. Suitable for use in construction and road engineering projects, it ensures reliable results essential for quality assurance in materials testing laboratories.
Robust and User-Friendly DesignThe machines bench-top construction, featuring powder-coated mild steel and stainless steel water bath, is built to endure rigorous, long-term testing. With the option of digital or analog controls and ergonomic features, operation is straightforward while maintaining operator safety and convenience.
Flexible and Versatile OperationWhether in semi-automatic or manual mode, this machine adapts seamlessly to diverse lab protocols. The variable speed control, standard briquette moulds, and temperature regulation facilitate easy, repeatable testing for up to three specimens, making it indispensable for both large-scale and routine laboratory work.
FAQs of Ductility Testing Machine:
Q: How does the ductility testing machine measure the ductility of bituminous materials?
A: The machine stretches bituminous specimens submerged in a temperature-controlled water bath and measures the length at which the specimen breaks. This reveals the materials ductility, crucial for assessing its suitability in road construction.
Q: What is the process for conducting a ductility test using this machine?
A: First, prepare standard briquette mould specimens. Place them into the water bath set between 5C and 27C. Select the desired speed (typically 50 2.5 mm/min). Initiate the pull via manual or digital controls; the machine records the elongation until breakage, displayed on a digital or analog scale.
Q: When should ductility testing be performed in road engineering projects?
A: Ductility testing is typically conducted during quality control for bituminous binders before their use in road construction. It may also be used for research and periodic evaluation during maintenance projects.
Q: Where is this ductility testing machine best applied?
A: It is primarily used in construction quality laboratories, asphalt testing facilities, and research institutes involved in road engineering and bitumen material analysis.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this ductility testing machine?
A: This machine offers precise temperature and speed control, accommodates multiple specimens, and ensures accurate measurement for reliable data. Its robust construction and corrosion-resistant materials ensure durability and minimal maintenance.
Q: How is the temperature controlled during the test?
A: Temperature is regulated using an inbuilt immersion heater with a thermostat within the stainless steel water bath, maintaining a consistent range from 5C to 27C for accurate testing results.
