Product Introduction

The HTHY-0606 Automatic Softening Point Tester for Bitumen is designed for determining the softening point of bituminous materials. It is mainly applicable to road petroleum asphalt, coal tar pitch, liquid asphalt, and other commonly used bituminous products, providing accurate testing solutions for various applications.

The instrument is widely used in asphalt production enterprises for quality control, highway and bridge construction organizations for material evaluation, as well as universities and research institutions for teaching, laboratory research, and technology development. It is an essential testing instrument for bituminous material performance evaluation.

Applicable Standard

JTG 3410 T0606-2025
Determination of Softening Point of Bitumen (Ring and Ball Method)

Product Features

  • Equipped with an external bottom heating module. The heating system is separated from the test beaker, providing improved temperature control accuracy and a heating mode compliant with the latest testing requirements.
  • Features a 7-inch high-definition full-view touchscreen for intuitive operation and data display.
  • Equipped with magnetic stirring and oscillation functions to ensure uniform temperature distribution, controllable heating rate, and compliance with standard requirements.
  • Utilizes dual control technology combining PWM regulation and PID temperature control to effectively prevent temperature overshoot. The heating curve is displayed in real time for full-process visualization.
  • Automatic control of heating rate and ball-drop detection without manual intervention.
  • Equipped with a thermal printer for real-time printing of test results.
  • Standard thermal printer allows immediate output of test results and convenient data recording for improved efficiency.
  • Equipped with a USB communication port for saving temperature control parameters. Network communication functions can be extended upon request.
