About this document
Ring-and-Ball Softening Point Test by Adhia Bang is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document outlines an experiment to determine the softening point of bituminous materials using the Ring-and-Ball Test, which is crucial for assessing their viscosity and suitability for applications like joint fillers and roofing. The experiment involved measuring the temperature at which the asphalt cement transitions from solid to liquid, with results indicating an average softening point of 43°C for a grade 60/70 bitumen. Recommendations for conducting the test safely and accurately are also provided
