HDT & Vicat Softening Point Testers - QualiHDT™ V1 Series
Reliable Testing for Heat Deflection and Softening Temperatures
The QualiHDT™ V1 Series is designed for precise Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) and Vicat Softening Point (Vicat) testing, ensuring compliance with international standards for plastics and polymer materials. Available in 2, 3, or 4-station configurations, these advanced instruments provide efficient and accurate thermal performance analysis for research and quality control applications.
Understanding HDT & Vicat Testing
- HDT (Heat Deflection Temperature) Test: The HDT test determines the temperature at which a plastic specimen deforms under a specified load. This test is crucial for assessing heat resistance, material stability, and product reliability under mechanical stress.
- Vicat Softening Point Test: The Vicat test measures the temperature at which a standardized indenter penetrates 1mm into a plastic specimen under load. This provides critical data on the softening behavior of thermoplastics, distinguishing material performance in various applications.
Compliant with International Standards
The QualiHDT™ V1 Series meets the requirements of:
- ISO 75 – Heat Deflection Temperature
- ISO 306 – Vicat Softening Point
- ASTM D1525 – Vicat Softening Point
- ASTM D648 – HDT Testing
Why Choose the QualiHDT™ V1 Series?
With high-precision temperature control, real-time monitoring, and user-friendly operation, the QualiHDT™ V1 Series is the ultimate solution for plastics and polymer testing. Whether for research, material development, or quality assurance, these instruments ensure accurate and repeatable results.
