Talk to an expertProduct Overview
An automatic dropping-point and softening-point apparatus designed for precise thermal characterization of tar, asphalt, paraffin, resin, fats, rosin, lubricants, Vaseline, medical ointments, suppositories, and edible grease. The system uses HD video-based detection to monitor two samples simultaneously, recording the full measurement process for later playback and data review.
Key Features
• Dual-sample HD video detection — observes and records two samples at the same time for efficient, side-by-side testing.
• Automated process recording — captures the entire measurement in video, with built-in playback and data-recall functions for traceability and review.
• Standards compliance — meets ASTM D3461, ASTM D3104, ASTM D3954, and ASTM D6090.
• Touch-screen interface — intuitive, user-friendly operation suited for routine lab use.
