RKA 5 softening point tester



The Global Softening Point Tester can automatically measure the temperature at which a substance reaches a specific degree of softening. This tester is suitable for measuring the degree to which a sample without a melting point becomes soft and its viscosity decreases after the temperature increases.

The RKA 5 softening point tester has different steel ball positioning and distribution devices, suitable for asphalt, paraffin, adhesives, resins, polymers, road marking materials, and sealing compounds.



Advantages Overview

The temperature heating rate meter can be used to check the consistency of each test

Multi point temperature calibration

Provide error detection for bubbles

Automatically evaluate results based on standard requirements

Statistical analysis and database functionality

The heating system is placed in a sealed box to prevent leakage, ensure safe operation, and facilitate cleaning

easy to operate

The laser scanning system can cover the entire cross-sectional area of the beaker. Ensure reliable detection of falling balls.

Intelligent roller operating system (rotation and pressing) and innovative operating platform Pmove ®， Making it very easy to choose from pre-set standard programs or from 20 user-defined settings.

Customize user flexibility

The automatic electromagnetic sphere distribution system (optional) is recommended for objects with a softening point>80 ° C.

It consists of a standard test stand, several centering rails, and two electromagnetic handles for automatic ball distribution after 15 minutes.

The Wilhelmi test kit (optional) is suitable for road marking materials and sealing compounds specified in EN 1871-F and DIN 1996-15. Specifically, it includes a testing bracket, centering guide rail, electromagnetic handle for ball distribution, and other accessories.

Barcode reader (optional) can be used for the latest sample recognition
