9102-BITUMEN CRUCIBLE

Here are some potential uses or methods involving crucibles in bitumen testing:

1. Softening Point Test: This test determines the temperature at which a bitumen sample becomes soft and deformable. A crucible may be used to contain the bitumen sample during the test.
2. Penetration Test: In this test, a standard needle is used to penetrate a bitumen sample under specific conditions. A crucible may be used to hold the bitumen during the testing process.
3. Ductility Test: This test measures the distance a standard briquette of bitumen will deform under specific conditions. A crucible may be involved in the preparation or containment of the bitumen sample.
4. Flash Point Test: The flash point is the temperature at which bitumen gives off vapors that can ignite in the presence of an open flame. While crucibles may not be directly involved in the test, they may be used in the preparation or containment of bitumen samples.
