VICAT-HDT Softening Test Apparatus

APPLICABLE STANDARDS ASTM D 648 - ASTM D 1525 - ISO 75-2 - ISO 306 - DIN 53460 - DIN 53461 - UNI EN ISO 75-2, UNI EN ISO 306

- GENERAL INFORMATION The VHDT-30 tester is specifically designed to be used in the Quality Control Department for the determination of the VICAT softening point and the HDT flex temperature in plastic materials.

- PRINCIPLE OF THE TEST The VICAT softening point is the temperature at which a 1mm 2-section flat needle penetrates a sample at a depth of 1mm HDT is the flexural temperature under load, expressed as the temperature at which the sample reaches a certain arrow.

• Robust construction

• Interior of the bathroom in stainless steel. The interior volume design is studied in a way that ensures a perfect thermal change, both heating and cooling.

• Temperature control by PID and Pt-100 sensor

• Working temperature: from room to +250 ºC

• Resolution: +/- 0.1 ºC

• Accuracy: +/- 0.2 ºC

• Heating rate: 120ºC / Hour and 50ºC / hour (configurable)

• Equipped with 3 Pt100 temperature probes (one for each test station)

• Test stations equipped with linear displacement sensors, with a range of 10 mm and resolution of ± 0.01 mm

• Set of 16 weights for each test station included: 2 of 5 g, 2 of 10 g, 2 of 15 g, 1 of 25 g, 1 of 50 g, 1 of 100 g, 2 of 200 g, 1 500g, 1 750g, 1 845g and 2 2000g (16 weights per station x 3 = 48 weights total)
