Ring & Ball Apparatus, Electrically Heating. But Supplied with a heating unit with an energy regulator which permits fine regulation of temperature In addition, there is an electrically operated stirrer mounted on a stand with chuck and glass rod or aluminum rod and for stirring Phase, 50 Cycles, A.C. supply.

Accurate Measurement of Softening Point

With a precision of 0.5C and a thermometer resolution of 0.5C, this apparatus ensures reliable determination of the softening point of bituminous specimens. The inclusion of both mercury and digital thermometer options offers flexibility for laboratory standards.

Versatile and Durable Construction

Designed for longevity, the apparatus utilizes stainless steel for the frame, brass for rings, steel balls, and a borosilicate glass beaker. Its benchtop design and compact dimensions (210 x 120 x 350 mm) make it suitable for both research and educational institutions.

Efficient and Safe Heating Options

The Ring and Ball Apparatus is engineered for safety and efficiency, accommodating both electric heating through 220V AC, 50Hz supply and traditional external burners. Manual controls allow users to monitor and adjust test conditions as needed.

FAQs of Ring and Ball Apparatus:

Q: How is the Ring and Ball Apparatus used in determining the softening point of bituminous materials?

A: This apparatus employs two steel balls and brass rings suspended in a beaker filled with liquid. When the sample is heated (electrically or with a burner), the temperature at which the bituminous material softens enough for the ball to fall a specific distance is recorded as the softening point.

Q: What is the process for setting up and operating this apparatus?

A: First, position the brass rings and steel balls in place within the beaker. Pour the test sample and set the thermometer in the holder. Choose your heating method (internal electric heater or external burner), gradually heat, and observe the temperature when balls drop, signifying softening.

Q: When should a ring and ball test be performed?

A: The test is commonly conducted in laboratories, manufacturing plants, and quality assurance departments when there is a need to determine the temperature at which bituminous substances transition from solid to soft, especially in road construction or material research.

Q: Where is this apparatus ideally used?

A: This benchtop model is best suited for industrial laboratories, educational institutions, and quality control centers where routine testing of bituminous materials is performed as per established standards.

Q: What are the primary benefits of this ring and ball apparatus?

A: It provides accurate, repeatable results with minimal power consumption. Its sturdy and corrosion-resistant construction extends its service life, and it accommodates simultaneous testing of two samples, enhancing operational efficiency.

Q: How accurate is this equipment and what is its resolution?

A: The thermometer supplied operates between 0C and 110C with a resolution and accuracy of 0.5C, ensuring precise measurement and confidence in test outcomes.
