Testing equipment determines the quality of the material you are using or buying. There are different material testing equipment available for testing a plethora of materials and that will include construction materials, road paving materials like bitumen and other materials used in road construction. Bitumen is vital element in the composition of road construction material and the bitumen test equipment is used to check the bitumen for

• Penetration test for hardness
• Softening point test for measuring temperature
• Ductility test for testing the ability to stretch
• Viscosity test for fluidity
• Gravity test to compare density to water
• Flash and fire test to check flammability

Key tests for bitumen quality

• Penetration test: Penetration test is accomplished within 5 seconds after you penetrate the bitumen with a standard needle. It is measure with the needle to determine the penetration distance at a particular load and temperature
• Softening point test: It uses the Ring and Ball apparatus to determine the softness of the bitumen at a particular temperature
• Ductility test: This test measures the tensile strength of bitumen by stretching at a controlled rate and observing the distance it can stretch before the break point
• Viscosity test: Viscosity test evaluates the fluidity of the bitumen as it affects the handling and workability of the bitumen during its application.

Where do you apply weighing balance?

A weighing balance is used for measuring mass or weight accurate and it is applied in a huge range of field. Weighing balance ensure precise measurements in laboratories, body weight for fitness and in the field of cooking. Weighing balance is used extensively in every laboratory on the earth as it allows you to measure materials you use for testing and ensure it is always the correct amount. A weighing scale ensures exact quantity of testing materials and is critical for assuring safety, quality and compliance.

Weighing balance is used in the following fields to ensure the right quantity

• Cooking– you need a weighing machine or balance to ensure putting right amount of ingredients in to cooking
• Health and fitness– it helps tracking body weight and accordingly manage calories
• Laboratories and science– weight scales are crucial for conducting chemical and other tests for a hoard of samples
• Commercial and retail– it allows retailers to measure quantity of materials like farm produces, nuts, and also check the quality of the product it Is measuring
