BITUMEN

Bitumen Ductility Testing Machine & Bitumen Ductility Tester

Bitumen and asphalt binder ductility testing is used to evaluate elongation behaviour, tensile response, and elastic recovery in paving binders, especially polymer-modified asphalt and PMB systems. Lithostek’s range covers routine ASTM D113 compliance, refrigerated force ductility testing, and research-grade automatic workflows for laboratories that need repeatable temperature control, vibration-free motion, and reliable comparison across standard and modified binder formulations.

Selection Guide

Routine Ductility QC

Choose LS-DT150D when you need standard bitumen or asphalt binder ductility testing with stable temperature control and an HMI workflow.

Modified Binder / PMB Research

Choose LS-DT150F when force ductility data and refrigerated testing are required for polymer-modified binders, SBS systems, or elastic recovery programs.

Advanced Lab Automation

Choose LS-DT150G when your lab needs automatic force ductility testing, richer data handling, and research-grade digital workflow integration.

Technical Compliance & Insights

ASTM D113: Ductility of Asphalt Materials

Commonly referenced for ductility measurement of bitumen and asphalt binders. International laboratories often search directly by this standard when specifying a ductility testing machine.

EN 13398: Bitumen and Bituminous Binders

Widely used in Europe and export markets for ductility characterization and related binder elongation workflows.

AASHTO T51: Ductility of Bituminous Materials

Important for highway agencies and labs that follow AASHTO-based binder testing procedures in North American projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Laboratories in Europe, the Middle East, and much of Asia often use bitumen ductility terminology, while U.S.-oriented laboratories more often use asphalt binder ductility terminology. Both terms describe the same testing workflow on this category page.

Force ductility testing is typically preferred when laboratories work with polymer-modified binders, PMB, SBS-modified asphalt, or research programs that need stress-strain behaviour rather than elongation length alone.

Yes. Many laboratories evaluate ductility and elastic recovery together because both workflows are closely linked in modified binder characterization. The correct configuration depends on the laboratory procedure, temperature-control requirement, and whether force measurement is also needed.

ASTM D113, EN 13398, and AASHTO T51 are the most common reference points for international procurement. Many purchasing teams search by the standard number first and then compare equipment type, automation level, and temperature stability.

LS-DT150D fits routine ductility testing, LS-DT150F is the stronger choice for refrigerated force ductility and modified binder work, and LS-DT150G is aimed at research-grade labs that need automatic control, richer data handling, and more advanced workflow integration.
