About Automatic Ring and Ball Apparatus

Specification:

The Automatic Ring and Ball Apparatus is an innovative microprocessor controlled automatic tester which is used to determine the softening point of bituminous materials using water or glycerol as the heating fluid.
Th softening point determines a disk of the sample held within a horizontal ring is forced downward a distance of 25.4 mm under the mass of a steel ball as the sample is heated at a prescribed rate in a water or glycerine bath.
The softening point is taken by two suitably positioned light barriers and the temperature is measured by a PT100 sensor. A uniform temperature distribution in the vessel is maintained by a magnetic stirrer, equipped with an adjustable speed control system and the temperature gradient is strictly maintained during the test by the electronic system conforming to the relevant standards.
A software permits to select the test method and the test parameters, run the test automatically, store, retrieve and print data, diagnose and calibrate the instrument. Additional cooling system, permits to quickly cool down the sample allowing to handle the glassware and to perform number of tests during a day by reducing the dead times between consequent analysis.
The apparatus consists of a heater, cooling system, electric lifting system, and magnetic stirrer with speed control, temperature probe, glass beaker, ring and ball support, brass ring with steel ball and ball centering guides (2 pcs. each), light barrier system, microprocessor system and large graphic display with touch screen, RS 232 C port for PC or printer.

Dimensions: 530x300x280 mm
Weight (approx.): 16 kg

FAQ's of Automatic Ring and Ball Apparatus:

Q: How does the Automatic Ring and Ball Apparatus determine the softening point of bituminous materials?

A: The apparatus heats two ring samples immersed in a corrosion-resistant stainless steel bath. As temperature rises, a microprocessor-controlled magnetic stirrer ensures uniform heating. The softening point is identified when the sample deforms and drops at the specified distance, closely monitored by a PID controller for precise temperature management.

Q: What benefits does the PID temperature controller with digital LCD display offer to users?

A: The PID controller maintains stable and accurate bath temperatures, while the digital LCD shows real-time readings with 0.1C resolution. This setup ensures test accuracy, repeatability, and easy monitoring throughout the softening point determination process.

Q: When is calibration required, and how can it be performed on this apparatus?

A: Calibration is recommended periodically or after moving the equipment. It comes factory-calibrated and also features an in-built calibration option, enabling users to verify and adjust temperature accuracy on-site for consistently reliable test results.

Q: Where can this apparatus be used and what applications does it serve?

A: Ideal for laboratory testing, the apparatus is commonly used in construction, quality control, research labs, and bituminous material production facilities throughout India. It accurately determines the softening point of asphalts, bitumen, and road tar, vital for ensuring construction material quality.

Q: What is the process for data logging and connectivity?

A: Test results and parameters can be logged via the built-in USB port or through optional PC connectivity. This feature streamlines data storage, retrieval, and analysis, supporting efficient record-keeping and compliance with laboratory standards.

Q: How does the over-temperature protection and safety alarm work?

A: The apparatus is equipped with an over-temperature safety cut-off to protect samples and internal components. Additionally, an audible buzzer sounds when the test is complete, ensuring user awareness and safeguarding the test process.
