Ductlometer Force High Performance + PC

Ductlometer Force - High Performance + PC

The ductility test is performed for determining the ductility of bituminous materials by measuring the elongation before breaking when two ends of briquette specimens are pulled apart at a specified speed and temperature.
Water bath
Insulated stainless steel water bath with a heating system located over the entire base surface and a stainless steel cooling coil (for connection to water mains or chiller) distributed over the three side walls assuring temperature uniformity without water turbulence inside the bath. All parts in contact with water are made of stainless steel.
Carriage displacement
Double-screew rods and mobile carriage enable test speeds from 5 to 100 mm/min. The system also permits the fast return of the carriage at the end of the test (500 mm/min) to reduce dead time and increase productivity. The carriage return is automatic, manual intervention is not required.
Temperature control
A closed-loop PID system assures constant temperature from 4 to 30°C, with a water chiller
Stainless steel cooling coil
Plate-type base heaters give better temperature uniformity
The thermoregulation system is based on control of the heater (which increases the temperature of the bath) and the control of the flow rate of the cooling coil by an electro-valve. This important feature assures control of the temperature within strict limits and permits the use of suitable standard water chillers.
