Item TF-04J3HU7
Research Ductilometer

The ductility test is performed for determining the ductility of bituminous materials by measuring the elongation before breaking when two ends of briquette specimens are pulled apart at a specified speed and temperature.

Features
- A closed-loop PID system assures constant temperature from -10 to +60°C, with a water chiller (see accessories)
- Stainless steel cooling coil
- Plate-type base heaters give better temperature uniformity
- The thermoregulation system is based on control of the heater (which increases the temperature of the bath) and the control of the flow rate of the cooling coil by an electro-valve. This important feature assures control of the temperature within strict limits and permits the use of suitable standard water chillers.
- Test control by PC: Start-Stop-Carriage return
- Specimen failure recognition
- Real-time display of load/elongation graph with advanced visualization options (single or multi-graph)
- Data acquisition and processing conforming to Standards
