The Ductility Testing Machine is used to determine the ductility of bituminous materials in a briquette mould by measuring the breaking elongation at a constant speed of 50 mm/min. It is designed for testing 3 specimens simultaneously. The Internal tank is made of stainless steel. The bath is fitted with an immersion heater in order to obtain (in normal conditions), the 25°C test temperature.
The Ductility Testing Machine comprises of speed control and water circulator to maintain the homogenous water temperature.
Elongation measurement through the motor encoder.
3 simultaneous load measurements with 18-bit resolution.
Speed control with servo AC motor between 0.01 to 100 mm/min.
Ethernet connection for computer interface.
Has 3 load cells with an accuracy of ±0.1N, with a maximum capacity of 300 N. Failure conditions can be downloaded to the unit.
DUCTILITY TESTING MACHINE
It is used to determine the ductility of bitumen, i.e. the distance a bitumen briquette can flex under controlled conditions before breaking. Ductylometer basically consists of a moving carrier that moves along guide paths. The carrier is moved by an electric motor in a large tank equipped with a digital thermostat, electric heater and pump unit.
Ductility Testing Device operates automatically at a speed of 50 mm/min. Models with maximum travel distances of 1000 mm and 1500 mm are available.
The entire tank is made of stainless steel with fiberglass insulation and the outer frame is electrostatic powder coated.
The water bath temperature is kept constant at 25 °C ± 0.5 °C with a digital thermoregulator.
4 different models are produced: Standard Ductility Test Device, Ductility Test Device with Cooling System, Forced Ductility Test Device and Forced Ductility Test Device with Cooling System.
