METTLER TOLEDO
 

Simple and Standard-compliant Determination of Dropping Point


   
The METTLER TOLEDO dropping point systems determine dropping and softening points of pitch, asphalt, polymers, resins, waxes and many more materials fully automatically. Standard compliant cups and measurement methods guarantee comparable measurement results.

Operation according to standards of the American Society of Tests and Materials (ASTM International), European Pharmacopeia and further standards makes it easier to compare measurement values. You can use all cups specified in these standards with the sample carrier.

One Click results
Dropping point determination has never been so easy. The color touch screen allows one finger operation, provides clear information for the user, and can be easily seen from a distance. Just one click is all that is needed to start the measurement - the instrument does the rest for you. While the measurement is being performed, you can attend to other important tasks. When completed, the instrument signals the end of the measurement with an acoustic tone and displays the measured temperatures.

Measure rapidly and economically
You can achieve high throughput by simultaneously determining two samples in one run. One Click enables you to start the measurement quickly after easy sample preparation with the tool included in the standard delivery. Perform different measurement tasks rapidly and efficiently by working with up to 60 stored methods. Economic single use cups and heating without water or oil baths eliminate the need for tedious cleaning.

Reliable results
Visual camera observation and digital image analysis guarantee that the determinations are reliable. The high resolution color videos recorded during the measurement can be repeatedly replayed on the instrument. This allows you to check unexpected results by visually reviewing measurements. The instrument shows the video, the results and for softening point determination the length curves on a VGA color touch screen in high resolution.
