What Is a Ductility Testing Machine?
The Ductility Testing Machine determines the maximum elongation of bitumen and bituminous binder specimens before rupture. The test measures how far a prepared briquette specimen can stretch when its two ends are pulled apart at a controlled speed and temperature.
Ductility provides useful information about the deformation behaviour of bituminous materials. Therefore, asphalt producers and quality control laboratories can compare different binder samples under standardised testing conditions.
The Liya Test system can test three specimens simultaneously and provides a standard travel distance of 1500 mm.
Three-Specimen Testing Capacity
The machine allows three briquette specimens to be tested at the same time. All specimens remain under the same water temperature and pulling conditions.
Unless otherwise specified, the test can be carried out at approximately 25 ±0.5 °C and a pulling speed of 50 mm/min ±5%. The graduated measuring system allows the operator to monitor elongation until specimen rupture.
Precise Temperature Control
A digital control unit maintains the water bath at the required test temperature. The integrated circulation pump continuously moves water throughout the bath.
This circulation helps reduce temperature differences between different areas of the tank. Stable bath temperature is important because the behaviour of bituminous binders changes significantly with temperature.
A thermoregulator also supports consistent operating conditions throughout the test.
Durable Water Bath Construction
The internal bath and external body are manufactured using stainless steel construction with double-wall fiberglass insulation. This design helps reduce heat transfer and supports stable test temperatures.
The smooth internal structure also simplifies cleaning after routine laboratory testing. The standard LT-AS0033 model has dimensions of approximately 30 × 185 × 55 cm and weighs about 80 kg.
Cooling and Force Ductility Options
For laboratories operating in warm environments, the LT-AS0034 Ductility Testing Machine is available with an integrated cooling system. This configuration helps the water bath reach and maintain the required test temperature.
The LT-AS0038 Force Ductility Testing Machine provides additional force measurement capability. It can test three specimens simultaneously and allows laboratories to analyse deformation behaviour together with force and extension data.
Ductility Testing According to Standards
The Ductility Testing Machine supports procedures associated with EN 13589, EN 13398, EN 13703, ASTM D113, ASTM D6084, AASHTO T51 and AASHTO T300. Liya Test currently lists these standards for the product family.
Overall, the Ductility Testing Machine combines three-specimen testing, controlled temperature, a 1500 mm travel distance and reliable water circulation. Therefore, asphalt laboratories can evaluate the elongation behaviour of bituminous binders under controlled and repeatable conditions.
