Ring & Ball Apparatus
The Ring & Ball Electrically Operated Apparatus is designed for accurate determination of the softening point of bitumen in laboratory and construction settings. The machine comes with a hot plate and magnetic stirrer, a heat-resistant glass water bath, two tapered rings, two balls centering guides, and two steel balls (9.5 mm diameter) along with a ring holder.
This electrically operated apparatus ensures uniform heating and precise testing and is suitable for operation on 220/230 Volts, single-phase AC supply. It is ideal for quality control of bitumen, asphalt mix testing, and civil engineering laboratories..
