AUTOMATIC SOFTENING POINT TESTER OF BITUMEN (RING & BALL METHOD)
Description :
Reliable and entirely automatic, the NBA450, scaling from 0 to 200°C, determines the softening point of bitumen, resins, waxes… with the help of an optical cell. In order to do this, 4 predefined methods are installed with a storage capacity nearby 320Go, authorizing the introduction of your own methods. With its built-in cooling system, its security is as well improved with the implementation of a heating element protected and resisting to all liquid overflows. But also, thanks to an overheating protection, allowing the heating system’s switch off according to the measured temperature in the heating block and activating an audible alarm.
