Equipment to determine the bending temperature (Heat Deflection Temperature) and the softening temperature (Vicat) of thermoplastic materials.
Both 3 and 6 station apparatus determine the temperature at which a standard hammer shaped head, with a load calculated to obtain a known stress, deflects at a conventional value a specimen during an incremental linear temperature gradient (HDT: Heat Deflection Temperature) and the temperature at which a standard needle, under a known load, penetrates of 1± 0.01 mm the surface of a specimen during an incremental linear temperature gradient (VICAT).
Measuring the resistance to the deflection temperature is very important for the characterization of products, for the Quality Control process and to evaluate the product conformity to the required standards.
