The OilLab 730 Ductilometer is a CE-marked testing instrument designed to measure the ductility of bituminous materials in full compliance with ASTM D113, ASTM D6084, AASHTO T51, EN 13398, and IP 32 (obsolete) standards. This high-precision analyzer determines the distance a bituminous specimen can elongate before breaking when pulled apart under controlled conditions of speed and temperature.
Ideal for asphalt, bitumen, and pavement testing laboratories, the OilLab 730 ensures reliable and reproducible results, making it a crucial instrument for quality control, research, and regulatory compliance in road construction and petroleum industries.
