HDT / Vicat Softening Point Temperature Tester

Product Description

HDT / Vicat Softening Point Temperature Tester

Application:

This machine is a non-metallic material testing instrument designed and manufactured according to the latest international standards and national standards. It is mainly used for non-metal such as plastic, hard rubber, nylon, electrical insulating materials, long fiber reinforced composite materials, high strength thermosetting laminates. Determination of the heat distortion temperature of the material and the Vicat softening point temperature. It is easy to operate and precise in control. It is a highly intelligent test instrument widely used in colleges and universities, research institutes and product quality supervision and inspection units. It adopts single-chip control, PID phase-modulated output, with upper limit temperature setting, and automatically stops heating when the test temperature reaches the upper limit temperature.
