HDT / VICAT Heat Deflection Tester

Qualitest HDT/VICAT Testers measure Heat Distortion Temperature (HDT) and Vicat Softening Point of plastic materials. HDT1 is a single station Heat Deflection tester, while the HDV3 System and HV2000 HDT / Vicat Testers offer sophisticated control using Windows based software. The software provides control and analysis for two to six stations on multiple HDV3 systems, and 3 to 6 stations on HV2000 with easy setup, operation, and calibration.

Heat Deflection Temperature Tester (HDT1) is a single station and low-cost system designed in accordance to ASTM D648 as well as ISO 75 to measure material's ability to perform for a short time at elevated temperatures while supporting a load. The test measures the effect of temperature on stiffness: a standard test specimen is given a defined surface stress and the temperature is raised at a uniform rate.
