Precision Temperature Control

The Ductility Testing Machine uses thermostatic/manual water circulation, ensuring uniform bath temperature required for accurate and repeatable ductility tests. Its built-in 1.0 kW heating element, coupled with a sensitive thermostat, keeps water temperature stable within 0.5C. This precision promotes reliable results for bitumen and asphalt specimen elongation tests according to standardized procedures.

Robust and User-Friendly Design

With a powder-coated mild steel frame and a high-quality stainless steel water bath, the machine offers durability in harsh laboratory environments. The chain-driven mechanism ensures smooth, controlled movement, while digital/analog timer indicators facilitate easy monitoring. Its corrosion-resistant materials minimize maintenance, ensuring longevity and consistent performance for regular testing schedules.

Compliant with International Standards

This machine meets IS:1208, ASTM D113, and EN13398 test protocols for ductility measurement. Its semi-automatic operation, manual or timer controls, and adjustable speed range provide versatility across different laboratory settings. With included specimen moulds and a capacity of three tests per batch, users can efficiently conduct regulated assessments integral to pavement material analysis.

FAQs of Ductility Testing Machine:

Q: How do you use the Ductility Testing Machine for bitumen samples?

A: To use the Ductility Testing Machine, first place prepared bitumen specimens in the moulds provided. Fill the bath with water and set the desired temperature, using thermostat/manual control. Start the machine to elongate each sample at your chosen speed (5-50 mm/min) until rupture, observing specimen extension on a digital or analog indicator. The water bath ensures accurate temperature control throughout testing.

Q: What benefits does the thermostatic water bath offer during ductility testing?

A: The thermostatic water bath keeps water temperature stable within 0.5C, which is crucial for valid ductility measurements. Consistent temperature reduces sample variability and improves test repeatability, directly enhancing the reliability of measured elongation values in bitumen, asphalt, and pavement testing.

Q: When should you calibrate or check the thermostat accuracy?

A: It is good practice to verify thermostat accuracy before each round of ductility testing, especially if the machine is used regularly or has been moved. Calibration ensures precise temperature control, meeting critical standard compliance for IS:1208, ASTM D113, and EN13398 protocols.

Q: Where is this machine best suited for use?

A: The Ductility Testing Machine is ideal for civil engineering laboratories, bitumen manufacturing plants, asphalt quality control departments, and flexible pavement research centers. Its robust and semi-automatic design adapts well to both routine and specialized material testing environments.

Q: What is the process for cleaning and maintaining the Ductility Testing Machine?

A: After testing, drain and rinse the water bath with clean water, and use non-abrasive cleaners for the stainless steel surfaces. Check and clean specimen moulds, inspect chain drive mechanisms for debris, and periodically examine electrical connections. Proper maintenance ensures accurate results and extends machine lifespan.

Q: What is the maximum elongation capacity of this machine?

A: The machine can measure specimen elongation up to 1500 mm, with an accuracy of 1 mm, ensuring dependable quantification of ductility in tested materials.

Q: What are the advantages of the chain-driven movement and powder-coated finish?

A: Chain-driven movement guarantees smooth and consistent elongation, minimizing test errors due to mechanical fluctuations. The powder-coated finish provides corrosion resistance, making the machine durable in moist laboratory conditions and reducing maintenance costs.
