Softening Point Tester
Automatic Softening Point Determination of Bitumen, Pitch, and Asphalt
The softening point of petrochemicals is defined as the temperature at which a sample elongates a certain distance under specific conditions. The fully automatic Softening and Dropping Point Excellence Systems simplify the measurement process for samples such as bitumen, pitch, and asphalt. Utilize our patented sample preparation tool to load your samples, while the instrument takes care of the rest. This solution ensures effortless compliance with standards like ISO 5940-2.
