Description
The HDT/VICAT testing machine offers high precision, reliability, and efficiency for the thermal analysis of thermoplastics and polymers. Engineered with advanced sensors and high-temperature-resistant components, it ensures minimal deformation, fast response, and precise data transmission, delivering consistent and accurate test results. When integrated with a chiller system, testing capacity doubles, significantly enhancing productivity.
The test station, made from a low-expansion coefficient alloy, maintains measurement accuracy up to 200°C without recalibration, complying with international standards. Widely used for HDT and Vicat softening temperature testing, this HDT/VICAT machine is essential for plastic and pipe manufacturers, quality control laboratories, construction engineering, and research institutions. Designed for product development, material testing, and regulatory compliance, it is a crucial tool for manufacturers, quality assurance teams, and research professionals seeking precise and efficient thermal analysis solutions.
