Softening Point Apparatus
TBT-2806F softening point apparatus is made in accordance with Standard Test Method for Softening Point of Petroleum Asphalt, also accords to ASTM D36 Standard Test Method for Softening of Bitumen (Ring-and-Ball Apparatus).
Our softening point tester is suitable to determine softening point of petroleum asphalt, coal pitch, liquid petroleum asphalt, and various asphalts. It can be widely used for asphalt manufacturing companies, highway and bridge construction companies, relative colleges and universities, and scientific research institutes.
