Automatic Softening Point Tester LSPT-A10

The Automatic Softening Point Tester LSPT-A10 uses bath liquids based on the expected softening point of the sample. For lower temperature materials (below 80?°C), distilled water is typically used, while glycerin is preferred for higher temperature ranges. The 1000?mL glass beaker is designed to accommodate both fluids and is compatible with standard testing media. Always ensure the liquid is clean and free from contaminants to maintain accurate and reliable results.

Our Automatic Softening Point Tester LSPT-A10 features a programmable temperature rise rate that ensures heating follows ASTM D36 or user-defined profiles, avoiding sharp spikes or temperature fluctuations. It maintains a linear and gradual increase, typically 5?°C per minute, which is essential for softening point accuracy. This controlled environment replicates standardized lab conditions and removes reliance on manual monitoring. It guarantees consistent and repeatable results across different tests and operators.

The Automatic Softening Point Tester LSPT-A10, includes ring holders and steel ball guides that ensure precise alignment and consistent placement every time. Improper alignment can cause the sample to deform unevenly and produce inaccurate softening points. This guided system guarantees correct vertical drop and symmetry between the two samples. Consistent positioning is critical for repeatable and valid results.

Labtron's Automatic Softening Point Tester LSPT-A10 requires a few checks before each test to ensure accurate results. Make sure the beaker is clean and filled with the appropriate bath liquid—distilled water for lower temperature tests or glycerin for higher ranges. Ensure the sample rings are filled evenly without air bubbles, and that the steel balls are clean and correctly positioned. Verify that the temperature sensor and stirrer are working properly, and confirm that the instrument is calibrated and warmed up if necessary.

The Automatic Softening Point Tester LSPT-A10 provides real-time alerts and indicators to guide the user throughout the testing process. The touch-screen interface displays prompts such as bath liquid temperature readiness, sensor status, and test completion. Audible signals may also indicate key actions like endpoint detection or printout completion. These built-in alerts help reduce operator errors and enhance usability, especially for new or less experienced users.
