Penetration tester:
Penetration tester The instrument is suitable to determine the penetration of highway bitumen, modified asphalt, as well as liquid petroleum asphalt or residue of emulsified asphalt after evaporation. .The penetration of bituminous materials is expressed as the distance that a 100 g0.05 g standard needle vertically penetrates into the sample without measurable fraction in 5 s at a constant temperature bath of 250.1 . It is used for evaluating the consistency of asphalt. The larger the penetration is; the thinner and softer the asphalt is. The instrument can also be used for inspecting industry materials such as solid granule, powder, colloid, as well as food materials such as cream, glycine, etc. It has been widely used in the field of food industry, highway and traffic departments and other departments.
consists essentially in a robust steel frame housing the motor speed reducer and lifting mechanism which assure uniformity of drop height at all specimen levels. The rammer pick- up has a cam system for accurate height release and is made of highly resistant material for trouble free long life. Compaction cycles conforming to the mentioned Standards, can be set on the digital control panel.
Buoyancy balance:
Digital high capacity scale offers 16000 gram weighing capacity with 0.1 gram readability for highly accurate weighing results. The digital scales vacuum fluorescent display makes it easy to read results in any light whether conditions are dark or light. The digital electronic scale's stainless steel weighing platform creates a easy to clean, durable, long lasting scale.
Road skid resistance tester : The apparatus is suitable for both site and laboratory applications to perform two types of tests: For measuring pavement (road asphalt) surface frictional and skid resistance properties. For polished stone value tests on aggregates (curved specimens) from accelerated polishing tests.
Water bath :
Provides water at the required temperature of 25 0,1C.The unit consists of a stainless steel water bath 10 litres capacity with wool insulation, immersion heater with digital thermostat, motor
pump with connections, cooling coil device, current water operated, to maintain a constant temperature of the bath whenroom temperature is slightly higher.The bituminous sample is immersed into the water bath, and placed on the penetrometer on
provide an orbital motion that reduces clogging and quick action clamps hold the sieve stack securely. A 60 minute timer is provided with a "hold" position to permit continuous running. Heavy gauge steel, painted exterior. Overall dimensions are 38 in H x 15 in W x 13 in D (97 x 38 x 33 cm.).
coal also contains bitumen. Both petroleum asphalt and coal tar are referred to as bituminous materials. 2. Aggregate : Aggregates (or mineral aggregates) are hard, inert materials such as sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag, or rock dust. There are two types of aggregates fine and coarse aggregate
