Automatic Softening Point Apparatus
The Automatic Softening Point Apparatus features a microprocessor-based
controller, an automatic load ball applicator, two optical detectors, and two
test positions for measuring the softening point of bitumens, waxes, and
other solid to semi-solid products. The instrument maintains program
sequences for both water and glycerin bath tests as well as a user-defined
program. A low-mass heating device along with the microprocessor-controlled
stirring device and Pt-100 sensor maintain the proper bath heating rate as
prescribed by the test method. The dual independent optical detection system
provides accurate and precise measurement of the softening point for up to
two individual samples without operator intervention. The backlit LCD display
shows the expected softening point as entered by the operator and the actual
bath temperature during the test for both positions. The test results can be
exported through the RS-232 interface. For added safety, the integrated
safety device interrupts power if an overtemperature situation occurs.
