About Float Test Apparatus

Float Test Apparatus

Normally the consistency of bituminous material can be measured either by penetration test or viscosity test. But for certain range of consistencies, these tests are not applicable and Float test is used. The apparatus consists of an aluminum oat and a brass collar filled with bitumen to be tested. The specimen in the mould is cooled to a temperature of 5C and screwed in to oat. The total test assembly is floated in the water bath at 50C and the time required for water to pass its way through the specimen plug is noted in seconds and is expressed as the oat value.

Accurate Bitumen Characterization

Designed according to IS:1216, the Float Test Apparatus offers exceptional accuracy and repeatability in determining bitumens float value. Its reliable temperature control and quality brass fittings guarantee consistent results, making it indispensable for routine laboratory and industrial testing of bitumen samples. The transparency of the toughened glass bath allows users to observe every stage of the testing process for better oversight.

Robust Construction and Easy Operation

The apparatus features a durable toughened glass bath and corrosion-resistant brass parts, ensuring longevity and easy maintenance. Simple manual controls, a clear mechanical scale or stopwatch, and conveniently supplied accessories make it straightforward to operate, whether you are a manufacturer, distributor, or testing laboratory in India.

FAQs of Float Test Apparatus:

Q: How is the Float Test Apparatus used for bitumen testing?

A: The apparatus measures the float value of bitumen in compliance with IS:1216. A standardized specimen is placed in the brass float assembly within a toughened glass bath. The bath temperature is maintained at 97C 0.1C using an immersion heater. The float value (0 to 120 seconds) is recorded as the time it takes for the specimen to travel the specified distance.

Q: What materials are used in the construction of the Float Test Apparatus?

A: The bath is made from transparent toughened glass, which ensures high durability, while all critical components like the float and collar are constructed from corrosion-resistant brass as per IS specifications.

Q: When should I use the Float Test Apparatus?

A: Use this instrument whenever there is a need to assess the consistency and flow characteristics of bitumen at specified conditions, particularly during quality control or research and development processes in the laboratory.

Q: Where can the Float Test Apparatus be installed?

A: This device is suited for installation on laboratory benches or tabletops. Its compact design and approximately 8 kg weight make it convenient for laboratory or industrial environments.

Q: What benefits does the Float Test Apparatus provide?

A: It delivers precise measurements of bitumens float value with high repeatability and resolution, enabling better quality assurance and compliance with IS:1216. The equipments robust and transparent construction ensures easy monitoring and longevity.

Q: What is included with the Float Test Apparatus upon supply?

A: The standard supply includes a brass float, collar, thermometer holder, immersion heater, and a thermometer capable of measuring from 0C to 100C.
