- One of the most common ways to determine a softening point is through the use of a ring-and-ball apparatus.
- During this test, steel balls are placed on top of bitumen disks within a bath.
- As the temperature of the bath rises, the samples soften and are unable to hold the balls.
- The temperature at which the balls drop 25mm (1 inch) is then recorded.
