Ductilometer Apparatus, Advance Digital NL 2006 X / 003A

Ductilometer Apparatus

Ductilometer Apparatus is used to determine the ductility of a material such as asphalt, bitumen, and certain types of metals. Ductility is the ability of a material to deform under tensile stress (pulling forces) without fracturing which evaluates the properties of materials used in construction, paving, and infrastructure projects. In the context of asphalt and bitumen testing, a ductilometer measures the elongation properties of these materials under specific conditions, typically at elevated temperatures.

The Ductilometer Apparatus consists of a bath or chamber where the sample is heated to a controlled temperature, usually around 50 to 60 degrees Celsius for asphalt. A test specimen of the material is pulled apart at a constant rate using a mechanical system, and the elongation before rupture is measured. This elongation measurement indicates the ductility of the material.

Ductility testing is crucial in assessing the suitability of materials for various applications, such as road construction, where the asphalt needs to withstand deformation and stretching without breaking under traffic loads and temperature fluctuations. This advanced apparatus incorporates cutting-edge technology and features to provide accurate, reliable, and efficient testing capabilities.
