HDT/Vicat Advanced Softening Point Apparatus 2 & 4 Station RR-HDV2 & RR-HDV4 Designed and built to cover multiple international testing standards, the Ray-Ran HDT/Vicat Advanced Apparatus utilises microprocessor technology to accurately determine the deflection and softening point characteristics of all thermoplastic test specimens. The HDT/Vicat apparatus allows for simultaneous testing of samples depending on the amount of test stations available, either 2 or 4. The simple manually operated raise and lower function of the test stations ensure easy access to the test sample supports for sample loading and retrieval before and after each test. Each test station is fitted with a PT100 platinum resistance thermometer, which accurately records the temperature next to the sample under test to 0.1°C and an electronic displacement transducer, which measures the sample displacement to 0.01mm as standard or to 0.001mm as an option. The on-board microprocessor ensures test result accuracy and repeatability and the built-in liquid crystal display (LCD) provides simple on-screen instructions reducing user error. Protecting Product Integrity

Test parameters are easily selected using the onboard membrane keypad. A simple data selection process and yes/no prompts make the operating procedure very simple to undertake. The microprocessor’s temperature control function ensures the ramping rates of either 50°C/h or 120°C/h are kept within the specified test standard requirements as well as performing nonstandard ramp rates to customers own specific needs. Test temperatures of 300°C are easily achieved and to ensure optimum safety at higher temperatures, the Nitrogen Blanket option is recommended. The methods of testing on the...
