Advanced HDT & Vicat Softening Point Tester - QualiHDT™ V3

High-Capacity Thermal Testing with 6-Station Efficiency

The QualiHDT™ V3 is a high-performance Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) and Vicat Softening Point Tester, designed to deliver precise, reliable, and high-throughput thermal analysis for plastics and polymer materials. Featuring six testing stations, it is ideal for research labs, quality control, and material certification.

How It Works

Each specimen is subjected to a constant load and immersed in a controlled heating bath, where the temperature rises at a standardized rate. The system accurately tracks deformation and temperature, providing crucial data on the heat resistance and softening behavior of plastic materials.

The optional software package allows real-time graphing of specimen deformation vs. temperature, ensuring a data-driven approach to material evaluation.

Compliance with International Standards

The QualiHDT™ V3 meets:

ISO 2507 – Vicat Softening Temperature for Thermoplastic Pipes & Fittings
ISO 75 – Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT)
ISO 306 – Vicat Softening Temperature
ASTM D1525 – Vicat Softening Temperature of Plastics
ASTM D648 – Heat Deflection Temperature Under Flexural Load
