Precise Softening Point Determination

This manual apparatus offers reliable measurement of the softening point for bitumen and other petroleum derivatives. The precision-engineered brass rings and steel balls ensure consistent results, while the compliant thermometer allows accurate observation across a wide temperature range. Its robust construction and corrosion-resistant finish make it suitable for frequent laboratory use.


Flexible Bath Liquid Usage

Compatible with water baths up to 80C and glycerin baths above this temperature, the apparatus is versatile for various sample types. Laboratory ambient conditions are sufficient for most operations, with testing procedures easily adaptable to different materials and standards.


Standardized for Laboratory Testing

The device meets rigorous compliance standards, including IS:1205, ASTM D36, and IP 58. It supports two simultaneous tests, improving workflow efficiency. All required accessories like thermometer, rings, balls, ball guides, and support assemblies are included for straightforward setup and operation.

FAQs of Softening Point Apparatus Ring and Ball Apparatus:


Q: How is the Softening Point Apparatus (Ring and Ball) used in petroleum testing laboratories?

A: The apparatus is primarily used to determine the softening point of bitumen and related petroleum products. Users manually place samples in brass rings, position steel balls, and fill the beaker with suitable bath liquid. The temperature is gradually increased, and the dropping point of the ball is visually observed using the thermometer.

Q: What types of bath liquid can be used and when should each type be selected?

A: Water is commonly used for tests up to 80C, while glycerin is recommended for tests above 80C due to its higher boiling point. The choice depends on the temperature requirements of the specific petroleum sample being tested.

Q: Where should the apparatus be mounted within the laboratory?

A: It is designed for table-top mounting and should be placed on a stable, flat laboratory surface, ensuring easy access to power supply and safe handling of hot liquids.

Q: What is the process for measuring the softening point using this apparatus?

A: Prepare samples in the brass rings, assemble with steel balls and guides, fill the beaker with bath liquid, and gradually heat. The thermometer monitors temperature until the ball drops through the softened sample, indicating the softening point. Results are recorded based on the thermometers reading at that moment.

Q: What are the benefits of using components like brass rings and steel balls?

A: Brass rings are corrosion-resistant and have stable thermal properties, ensuring consistent sample containment. Steel balls provide reliable weight and durability, meeting standard compliance for accurate results.

Q: What compliance standards does the apparatus meet?

A: It conforms to multiple international and Indian standards, including IS:1205, ASTM D36, and IP 58, ensuring its suitability for standardized petroleum and bitumen testing applications.
