Ductility Testing Machine

"Ductility Testing Apparatus as per IS:1208 & IP: 32: The apparatus consists of a Water bath with a thermostatic heater, and a circulating pump to maintain uniform water temperature. One half of the briquette moulds is fixed on a fixed plate in the water bath, the other half of the briquette mould is fixed to a carrier which slides over a rotating threaded shaft with a clutch. The motor and gears to rotate the shaft are housed in cabinet fixed above the other end of the bath. A pointer fixed to the carrier moves over a scale graduated from 0-110cmx1mm fixed on the bath with zero of the scale towards the fixed plate slide.
