Q: Which of the following tests is commonly used to measure the softening point of bitumen?
  • A. Penetration test
  • B. Ring and ball test
  • C. Ductility test
  • D. Flash point test
Correct Answer: Option B - Softening point test–This test is done to determine temperature susceptibility of the bitumen. The ring and ball softening point test is extensively used to evaluate the consistency of bituminous binders.
