Microcomputer-controlled automatic ring and ball tester with automatic heating, detection, result storage and printing for asphalt softening point.
Overview
The Automatic Asphalt Softening Point Tester is used to determine the softening point of asphalt materials and evaluate the temperature sensitivity, heat resistance and high-temperature stability of asphalt. Controlled by a microcomputer, it has functions such as automatic heating, automatic detection, result storage, print output and data communication. It is suitable for high-precision asphalt performance testing in road engineering, asphalt production enterprises and scientific research laboratories.
Applications
• Hot mix asphalt (HMA) laboratory mix design and quality control
• Asphalt plant production monitoring and batch certification
• Road construction acceptance testing and pavement performance assessment
• Research institutions and highway engineering laboratories
Features
• Microcomputer-controlled operation with digital display for direct readout
• High measurement accuracy with stable repeatability
• Automatic test cycle with data storage and report generation
• Built-in thermal printer for immediate test record output
• Complete with calibration certificate and operation manual

FAQ
Q1: What standards does the Automatic Asphalt Softening Point Tester comply with?
A1: The Automatic Asphalt Softening Point Tester is designed and manufactured in accordance with relevant Chinese national (GB) and transport industry (JTG) standards, as well as applicable ASTM and AASHTO international standards. A calibration certificate traceable to national standards is provided with each unit.
Q2: How often should the Automatic Asphalt Softening Point Tester be calibrated?
A2: We recommend annual calibration by authorized technicians or by iRoad after-sales service center. For high-frequency laboratory use, semi-annual calibration is advised. The instrument is supplied with a factory calibration certificate.
Q3: What is the lead time and do you provide training?
A3: Standard units are usually shipped within 7-15 working days. Custom configurations may require 20-30 days. iRoad provides on-site installation, commissioning and operator training for major equipment; remote video guidance is available for standard laboratory instruments.
