About Elastic Recovery Mould Get Best Quote

The mould is manufactured as per relevant standards such as IRC and ASTM, ensuring accurate specimen formation. It typically consists of three-part brass/gunmetal moulds designed to create a briquette specimen of precise dimensions required for elastic recovery tests.

The specimen formed using this mould is stretched and cut during testing to measure the percentage recovery of bitumen after deformation. This test is important for evaluating the performance of polymer-modified bitumen, especially in road construction.

Key Features

• Made of high-quality brass or gunmetal
• Supplied in a set of 3 moulds with base plate
• Precision-machined for accurate specimen dimensions
• Easy assembly and dismantling
• Corrosion-resistant and long service life

Technical Specifications

• Material: Brass / Gunmetal
• Standard Compliance: IRC / ASTM D6084
• Specimen Length: ~75 mm 0.5 mm
• Design: Three-piece mould (clips and side plates)
• Application: Bitumen elastic recovery testing

Applications

• Bitumen and asphalt testing laboratories
• Highway construction quality control
• Research and civil engineering institutes
• Polymer modified bitumen (PMB) testing

Working Principle

A bitumen sample is poured into the mould to form a standard briquette. After conditioning, the specimen is stretched in a ductilometer and then cut. The amount of recovery after a fixed time is measured as a percentage, indicating the elastic properties of the material.
