Plastic HDT VICAT Testing Machine for Thermal Deformation Assessment ISO 2507 75 306 ASTM D1525 648
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.
