Plastic HDT VICAT Testing Machine for Thermal Deformation
Assessment ISO 2507 75 306 ASTM D1525 648
Description:
The Plastic HDT Thermal Deformation Vicat Softening Point Digital
Tester—compliant with standards including ISO 2507, ISO 75, ISO
306, and ASTM D1525/D648—is engineered to determine the thermal
deformation temperature and Vicat softening point of plastic
materials.
Test specimens are subjected to a constant load and immersed in a
temperature-controlled bath, where the temperature is raised at a
standardized rate. The heat resistance of plastic materials, as
measured by this tester, is a critical parameter widely required
for product characterization, quality control (QC), and verifying
compliance with pre-established industry specifications.
Definition of "Thermal Deformation Test"
Per international standards, the thermal deformation test refers to
the process of determining the temperature at which a specified
deflection occurs in a standard test specimen under a given nominal
bending stress. This test is essential for both routine quality
control of plastic products and research and development (R&D)
activities focused on plastic material performance optimization.
Definition of "Vicat Test"
The Vicat test refers to the process of determining the temperature
at which a standard indenter penetrates 1mm into the surface of a
test specimen under a specified load. This test is primarily used
to characterize and compare the softening behavior of different
types of thermoplastic materials, providing key data for material
selection in industrial applications.
Features:
The Thermal Deformation Vicat Test Apparatus With Test Stand
Lifting System is engineered to align with the rapid advancement of
the plastics industry and elevate the standards of material
research and testing.
This apparatus is designed in strict compliance with the latest
international and national standards, including:
- ISO 75-1:1993 (Plastics — Determination of temperature of
deflection under load)
- ISO 306:1994 (Plastics — Thermoplastic materials — Determination of
Vicat softening temperature (VST))
- GB/T 1633—2000 (Thermoplastic materials — Determination of Vicat
softening temperature (VST))
- GB/T 1634—2001 (Plastics — Determination of temperature of
deflection under load)
As a computer-controlled device, it boasts stable performance,
user-friendly operation, and a high degree of automation. These
features make it one of the most advanced testing instruments for
measuring the heat deflection temperature and Vicat softening
temperature of non-metallic materials, effectively supporting
R&D, quality control, and compliance testing in the polymer
industry.
