  • Description
Heating bath instrument that measures heat deflection temperature and Vicat softening point of rigid plastics. Used by moulders and compounders to rate heat resistance of components.

Specification

Specimens loaded in flexure or under a needle are heated in an oil bath at 120 deg C/h, and the temperature at the specified deflection or penetration is recorded. Multiple stations allow several samples to run at the same time. The data support selection of materials for hot-use parts.

Features

  • 3 stations for HDT or Vicat
  • Heating rate 50 or 120 deg C/h
  • Digital deflection gauges 0.001 mm resolution
  • Silicone oil bath with stirrer
  • Cooling coil and over temperature cutoff
