HDT/Vicat tester The SCITEQ HDT/VICAT tester is designed to determine the Heat Deflection Temperature Test specimens are charged with a constant load (HDT) or the Vicat softening point of plastic and immersed in a bath, where the temperature The unit consists of a temperature controlled oil and thermoplastic samples. The HDT/Vicat is increased at a standard velocity. bath with three testing stations, each of which tester complies with ISO 75, ISO 306, ASTM The attained heat resistance rate of plastic material is a widely required parameter for may be configured for either HDT or VICAT test methods. product characterization, for quality control and The inner bath is constructed in stainless steel and for evaluating the conformity to the previewed the designed volume ensures a good thermal exchange. The rod and frame members have the same linear thermal expansion coefficient. simple set-up The weight loading mechanism automatically lowers and raises weights. Test specimens are robust construction lowered and raised automatically into/from the touch screen oil bath. With the optional software system it is possible to produce graphs showing the deformation of each high accuracy specimen and temperature increase versus time. quality product The system is robust enough to be used in an table model industrial environment, as well as a laboratory. We wish to give our partners the tools to produce to the highest standard, while helping them to produce as costeffectively as possible with Q.C. tools throughout the factory. associated | equipment test software weights software test weights |essential equipment SCITEQ — A Brand of Quality
