PRODUCT:
SCS Equipment HDT/VSP Tester with Cooling System is used to determine the deflection temperature limit for specific application and comparing the heat softening characteristics of thermoplastic material at a constant load in all media upto 300 Deg.C.
APPLICATION :
Plastic materials, being heat sensitive in nature, have a lot of bearing on thermal environment of its performance. Thoough their behaviour in thermal condition is very complex, some simple yield tests are used to predict its behaviour and performance in a given condition. 'Vicat Softening Point' or 'Heat Deflection Temperature' is one of such yield points very cmmonly employed with such demanding applications. Vicat test consisst of penetrating a unit size indenter in a plastic surface with predefined load under constant rate of environmental temperature rise.
