DUCTILITY TEST

(As Per IS:1208-1978)


Scope:
To determine the ductility of bituminous products.
Apparatus:
Briquette mould, Water bath, Thermometer & Testing machine.
Procedure:
1.Melt the bituminous material to a temperature of 75 to 100 oC.
2.Assemble the mould and thoroughly coat the interior surfaces with a mixture of
glycerin and dextrin to prevent sticking.
3.Pour the material into the mould until it is more than level full and leave it to cool
at the room temperature for 30 to 40 min.
4.Then place it in a water bath maintained at the specified temperature for 30 min
after which cut off the excess bitumen.
5.Place the mould with briquette specimen in the water bath at a temperature of
27+0.5oC for about 85 to 95 min.
6.Then remove the briquette from the mould, detach the side pieces, and test the
briquette immediately.
7.The water in the tank of the testing machine should cover the specimen both
above and below by at least 25mm.
8.Attach the rings to the pins in the testing machine and pull the two clips
horizontally at a uniform speed of 50+2.5mm/min until the briquette ruptures.
9.Measure the distance in centimeters through which the clips have been pulled to
produce rupture.

Report:-
Report the average of three normal tests as the ductility of the sample
