HDT VICAT Testing Machine
Professional testing instrument for determining Vicat softening temperature of plastic materials using standard test procedures.
Equipment Overview
Vicat softening temperature refers to the temperature at which a flat-ended needle with a 1 mm² circular cross-section penetrates a thermoplastic test specimen to a depth of 1 mm under specified vertical load conditions, with testing conducted at selected uniform temperature rise rates.
This testing machine features PC-based control with deformation measured by digital micrometers. It supports real-time curve plotting, secondary data processing directly on the PC, and test data export to OFFICE software for editing. The sample frame includes automatic lifting and lowering functionality.
Test Standards Compliance
This equipment is calibrated and validated to align with established national and international testing standards including: GB/T1633, GB/T1634, ISO75, ISO306, ASTM D648, ASTM D1525, ISO 2507 and other applicable industry specifications.
