Softening Point Apparatus for Oil and Petroleum Testing Equipment

The Ring and Ball Softening Point Apparatus is designed to determine the softening point of bituminous materials. The sample is cast into shouldered rings and heated at a controlled rate under the weight of steel balls. The softening point is recorded as the temperature at which the bitumen softens and sags downward by a specified distance.

Manufactured by Atico Export for reliable softening point determination in bitumen and asphalt testing laboratories.
