Technical Specification
Complete technical data, dimensions, capacity and performance parameters for Astra Scientific Automatic Ring and Ball Apparatus.
Specification: The Automatic Ring and Ball Apparatus is an innovative
microprocessor controlled automatic tester which is used to determine
the softening point of bituminous materials using water or glycerol as
the heating fluid. The softening point determines a disk of the sample
held within a horizontal ring is forced downward a distance of 25.4 mm
under the mass of a steel ball as the sample is heated at a prescribed
rate in a water or glycerine bath.
The softening point is taken by two suitably positioned light barriers
and the temperature is measured by a PT100 sensor. A uniform temperature
distribution in the vessel is maintained by a magnetic stirrer,
equipped with an adjustable speed control system and the temperature
gradient is strictly maintained during the test by the electronic system
conforming to the relevant standards.
A software permits to select the test method and the test parameters,
run the test automatically, store, retrieve and print data, diagnose and
calibrate the instrument. Additional cooling system, permits to quickly
cool down the sample allowing to handle the glassware and to perform
number of tests during a day by reducing the dead times between
consequent analysis.
The apparatus consists of a heater, cooling system, electric lifting
system, and magnetic stirrer with speed control, temperature probe,
glass beaker, ring and ball support, brass ring with steel ball and ball
centering guides (2 pcs. each), light barrier system, microprocessor
system and large graphic display with touch screen, RS 232 C port for PC
or printer.
Dimensions: 530x300x280 mm
Weight (approx.): 16 kg
Power: 750 W
