\nDuctility\nRef. Standards: IS:1208, ASTM D113, AASHTO T 51
Bituminous surfaces exposed to varying temperature conditions undergo a great deal of expansion and contraction. Therefore, an important characteristic of the binder is its ductility and the degree of ductility has an effect on the cracking of bituminous surfaces caused by traffic stress.
The ductility of bitumen is expressed as the distance in centimetres to which a standard briquette can be elongated before the thread thus formed breaks under specified conditions.
\nA molten bitumen sample is poured into a standard mould, allowed to cool to room temperature and then placed in a water bath so that the briquette can be brought to test temperature before mounting in the testing machine.
\n\nDuctility Testing Machine, Electrically Operated, Digital\nAIM 565-1, AIM 565-DG & AIM 565-DG-C
\nDesigned to test three specimens simultaneously. The machine consists of a carriage moving over a lead screw. An electric motor with reduction gear unit ensures smooth constant speed and continuous operation. The entire assembly is mounted with water bath completely encased in metal bound hardwood. It is equipped with an electric pump circulator and heater. The temperature is controlled by digital temperature controller. Two rates of travel i.e. 5 cm/min and 1 cm/min are provided. Suitable for operation on 220 V, 50 Hz, Single Phase, AC supply.
\nThe equipment consists of:
\nAIM 56501 – Ductility Mould, with Base Plate 3 Nos.
