LS-BRT-1A Automatic Fraass Breaking Point Tester
LS-BRT-1A Automatic Fraass Breaking Point Tester
LS-BRT-1A Automatic Fraass Breaking Point Tester is a bitumen softening point tester and ring and ball apparatus for EN 12593, IP 80, ASTM D6749 workflows. Determines the brittle behavior of bitumen at low temperatures with automatic bending, cooling rate control, and simultaneous triple-specimen testing capability.
Lithostek automatic fraass breaking point tester delivers certified performance for EN 12593, IP 80, ASTM D6749 workflows.
Workflow: Softening Point
Standards: EN 12593, IP 80, ASTM D6749
Applications
- Quality control
- Material analysis
- Research testing

Key Features
Fully Automated Low-Temperature Testing
Microprocessor-controlled cooling rate regulation ensures strict compliance with the 1°C/min protocol. The system automatically bends specimens at each temperature step, eliminating operator subjectivity and improving inter-laboratory reproducibility.
Triple-Specimen Simultaneity
Three test positions operate in unison under identical thermal conditions, enabling statistically valid results in a single run. Average breaking point is computed and printed automatically.
Integrated Cryogenic Ecosystem
The dedicated low-temperature circulatory bath delivers stable sub-zero conditioning with a professional compressor rated at 1600W. The dual-unit architecture separates thermal generation from the test chamber, minimizing vibration interference.
