Product catalog summary
Range of Applications
The HDT/Vicat Allround instrument is used for determining the Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) and Vicat Softening Temperature (VST) on various materials such as thermoplastics, hard rubber, and fiber-reinforced plastics. It complies with ISO 75 Parts 1 to 3 and ASTM D 648 for HDT, and ISO 306 and ASTM D 1525 for VST. It also measures creep test characteristics under deflection loading.
Description
The instrument is designed for research, development, quality control, and educational purposes. It features up to six testing stations and uses testXpert® II software for test sequence parametrization and data display. The test sequence is automated, starting with the immersion liquid reaching the starting temperature, followed by specimen placement and test weight application. The heating and cooling processes are controlled automatically.
Functions, Elements, and Interfaces
  • Built-in SPS-control for temperature regulation and data acquisition.
  • Cooling controlled by a magnetic valve.
  • Motorized immersion of testing stations and optional motorized test weight placement.
  • Safety thermostat and electronic bath level monitoring.
  • PC-based test control and data acquisition via RS232 interface.
  • Integrated compensation for thermal expansion.
Cooling and Specimen Data
The instrument includes an integrated cooling unit for rapid cooling. Maximum specimen dimensions for VST are 10 x 6.5 x 10 mm, and for HDT are 13 x 15 x 130 mm, with support distances of 64 and 100 mm (optional 101.6 mm).
Technical Data
  • Accuracy at 250 °C: ± 0.5 °C; ambient temperature curve: ± 0.2 °C.
  • Temperature measurement resolution: 0.1 °C.
  • Heating time: 50 K/h, 120 K/h, or adjustable.
  • Cooling time from 300 °C to 30 °C: approximately 20 minutes.
  • Travel measurement range: 15 mm with an accuracy of ± 0.01 mm.
  • Supply voltage: 230 V, 50 Hz, 3000 W; water supply max. 10 bar.
Instrument Variants
  • HDT/Vicat 3-300 Allround: 3 testing stations, dimensions 900 x 1230 x 700 mm, weight 137 kg.
  • HDT/Vicat 4-300 Allround: 4 testing stations, expandable to 6, dimensions 900 x 1480 x 700 mm, weight 160 kg.
  • HDT/Vicat 6-300 Allround: 6 testing stations, dimensions 900 x 1480 x 700 mm, weight 160 kg.
Accessories
Includes various weight sets, calibration tools, and specimen supports. Additional accessories like PC workstations are available upon request.

Product Information HDT/Vicat Allround with integrated cooling unit HDT/Vicat 6300 Allround, motorized test weight application Range of applications Determination of Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) on thermoplastics, hard rubber, as well as fiber reinforced and filled hardenable plastics, according to ISO 75 Parts 1 to 3 and ASTM D 648 Method A and B Determination of Vicat Softening Temperature (VST) on thermoplastics, according to ISO 306 and ASTM D 1525 Determination of creep test characteristics under deflection loading PI 603 2.0312 Description The HDT/Vicat Allround instruments have been designed for comfortable testing in research and development, incoming goods control, product monitoring as well as for education and training purposes. Various instruments with up to 6 testing stations are available. testXpert® II enables convenient parametrization of the test sequence and display of test values. Automatic test sequence As soon as the immersion liquid has reached the starting temperature, the specimens are placed in the testing stations and manually lowered into the bath. The next step is to place the test weight, called for by the standard, manually or optionally motorized, and then start the test sequence from the PC Software. After pretempering while under load, the travel signals are set to zero by the program, and the heating of the immersion liquid is started with the preset heating rate. As soon as the required flexure, edge fiber extension or penetration is achieved at all stations, the heating is switched off and the test is ended. The cooling of the immersion liquid is started automatically by the program via magnetic valve and then the specimens can be taken out of the bath. Functions, elements and interfaces • Builtin SPScontrol for temperature regulation and test data acquisition • Cooling controlled by magnetic valve • Motorized immersion of the testing stations • Manual or optional motorized placing of the test weights • Safety thermostat • Electronic bath level monitoring • Test control and data acquisition via PC with testXpert® II (RS232Interface required in PC) • Integrated compensation of the thermal expansion Cooling of the immersion liquid The instruments are equipped with an integrated cooling unit for short cooling times. Specimen data VST specimen dimensions, max.: 10 x 6.5 x 10 mm HDT specimen dimensions, max.: 13 x 15 x 130 mm HDT support distances: 64 and 100 mm (optional 101.6 mm)
