ESE-620-Ductility Testing Machine

The Ductility Testing Machine is a specialized instrument used to determine the ductility of materials, particularly bitumen and other flexible materials. Ductility refers to a material’s ability to deform under tensile stress without breaking, which is crucial for evaluating its performance in applications such as road construction, roofing, and sealing.

This machine measures the elongation of a material specimen under controlled conditions. It typically consists of a testing unit with clamps to hold the specimen, a motorized stretching mechanism, and a temperature-controlled water bath to maintain consistent test conditions. The test involves stretching the specimen at a specified rate until it breaks, with the total elongation recorded as the ductility value.

The Ductility Testing Machine is widely used in laboratories and quality control facilities to ensure that materials meet industry standards. It is particularly vital for assessing bitumen used in asphalt pavements, as proper ductility ensures flexibility and resistance to cracking under temperature fluctuations and traffic loads.

Durable, reliable, and easy to operate, the Ductility Testing Machine provides accurate and repeatable results, making it an indispensable tool for professionals in material testing and construction industries.
