The ring-and-ball softening point tester automatically determines the temperature at which a substance attains a particular degree of softness.
The ring-and-ball softening point tester automatically determines the temperature at which a substance attains a particular degree of softness. It is used for samples without sharply defined melting points, which become softer and less viscous as the temperature rises.
The RKA 5 with its different ball-centering and dispensing devices is suitable for bitumen, adhesives, resins, polymers, road-marking materials and sealing compounds.

Features of RKA 5
Benefits at a Glance
Temperature-heating rate chart for conformity check of each test
Multi-point temperature calibration
Provision against the erroneous detection of air bubbles
Automatic assessment of results acc. to the requirements of the standard
Statistical and database functionality
The heating system is spill-protected and in a sealed case for safe operation and easy cleaning
Convenient Operation
A laser scanner system covers the whole beaker cross-section area. This ensures a very reliable detection of the falling ball.
The smart jog wheel operation system (turn and push) and Pmove®, as an innovative operation platform, make it easy to select one of the pre-set standard programs or choose one of the 20 user-definable settings.
Customized User Flexibility
Automatic electromagnetic ball-dispensing system (optional) recommendable for softening points > 80 °C.
It consists of a standard test rack and centering guides in combination with two electromagnetic holders for the automatic ball dispensing after 15 min.
Bar code scanner (optional) for up-to-date sample identification
