The HDT/Vicat Apparatus is used to detemine the Deflection and softening point characteristics of all types of thermo plastic specimens.

esigned and built to cover multiple international testing standards, it utilises microprocessor technology to accurately determine the deflection and softening point characteristics of all thermo plastic test specimens.  The simple manually operated raise and lower function of the test stations ensure easy access to the test sample supports for sample loading and retrieval before and after each test. Each test station is fitted with a PT100 platinum resistance thermometer which accurately records the temperature next to the sample under test to 0.1°C and an electronic displacement transducer which measures the sample displacement to 0.01mm as standard or to 0.001mm as an option.
