Archive for category: BITUMEN LAB

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION :
This apparatus is used to determine Softening point of Bitumen. It is that temperature at which a sample of bituminous material loaded by a 9.5mm dia. steel ball, drops a specified distance when heated under specified conditions. The apparatus consists of steel bracket with a sliding plate support. That support two holes of 10mm dia. on which a ring and ball guide can be kept. A central hole on this plate is for inserting thermometer
Electrical heating, with a Heater and Energy. Regulator, Suitable for operation on 230 V, 50Hz,Single Phase, A.C. supply. Each unit is supplied with bath of heat resistant glass

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION:
Used to determine grade of bitumen. The penetration tests determine consistency of bitumen for the purpose of grading. Depth in units 1/10 of millimeter to which a standard needle having a standard weight will penetrate vertically in a duration of five seconds at a temperature of 25° determines penetration for gradation.
It consists of a vertical pillar mounted on a base provided with leveling screws. The head, together with dial plunger rod a cone (or needle) slides on a pillar and can be clamped at any desired height. A rack and pinion and pointer assemble provides fine adjustment of needle or cone tip to sample. It incorporates a clutch mechanism. Which makes reading of penetration and subsequent resetting a simple and accurate operation

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION :
For determining the hardness number of Mastic Asphalt for flooring. It consist of an internally insulated cabinet to the base of which is fitted a water bath having two taps. The bath is heated by an immersion heater and the temperature is controlled with the thermostat at 35° +/- 0.5° C. A 6.5mm dia. pin is loaded on the specimen by means of a lever to give a 31.7 Kg weight. A dial gauge 0.01 x 25 mm is provided to record the penetration of pin into the specimen

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION : The Instrument is used for determination and checking of Bitumen percentage in bituminous mix, the mix is added with solvent and dissolved bitumen is removed by centrifugal action. Consists of a removable Aluminum rotor bowl, Capacity 1500 gms. With a cap and tightening nut. The bowl assembly is mounted on a vertical shaft, which protrudes from cast housing. This shaft and thus the bowl are rotated fast manually by enclosed gears in the cast body and handle. Solvent is introduced during the test through the holes in the cap of the housing. A drain is provided to collect dissolved Bitumen coming out of the rotating bowl and getting collected in the housing DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT : Size :0.5 m.(L)x 0.3m(W) X 0.4m ( H ) Weight :Approx. 10 Kg SERVICE REQUIRED : SCOPE OF DELIVERY:
