3 Testing method for softening point
3.1 Overview of testing method for softening point of low temperature pattern wax materials
Place two horizontal specimen discs in a shoulder or conical brass ring, which is heated in distilled water at a certain speed. On each specimen disc there is a steel ball. The softening point shall be the average value of the temperatures measured when the specimens are softened to make the two steel balls on them sink by 25 mm.
3.2 Instruments and apparatus
3.2.1 Rings: two brass shoulder rings or conical rings, with dimensions and specifications shown in Figures 1a) and 1b).
3.2.2 Support plate: flat and smooth brass plate, with a dimension of about 50 mm×75 mm.
3.2.3 Steel balls: two steel balls in a diameter of 9.5 mm, each weighing (3.50±0.05) g.
