Ring-Ball Test for Softening Point of Bitumen

Apparatus for Softening Point of Bitumen

Ring

• A brass shouldered ring. (Show above figure)

Ball

• A steel ball, 9.53 mm (3/8”) in diameter, weighing between 3.45 and 3.55 grams. ( Show above figure)

Ball Centering Guide

• A guide for centering the ball and made of brass. (Show above figure)

Ring Holder

• The rings shall be supported on a brass ring holder. (Show above figure)

Brass Pouring Plate

• A flat, smooth brass plate approximately 75 by 50 mm has been treated to prevent the bituminous material from adhering to it.
• Suitable treatment is to coat the plate just before use with a thin layer of a mixture of glycerin and dextrin, talc, or china clay.

Bath

• A glass vessel, capable of being heated, not less than 85 mm in diameter and not less than 120 mm in depth from the bottom of the flare.
