A combined VSP / HDT apparatus measures two key thermal properties of plastics. In the Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) test a specimen under a constant flexural load is heated in an oil bath at a uniform rate until it deflects by a standard amount; the temperature at that point is the HDT. In the Vicat Softening Point (VSP) test a loaded needle penetrates the specimen as it is heated, and the temperature at a standard penetration is the VSP. Both indicate the temperature at which a plastic begins to soften under load.
HDT and VSP data are essential for selecting plastics for elevated-temperature service and for quality control of moulding compounds. Automotive, electrical, appliance and engineering-plastics manufacturers test to ASTM D648, ASTM D1525, ISO 75 and ISO 306 to confirm that materials will retain their shape and stiffness at working temperature.
A combined multi-station VSP/HDT apparatus tests several specimens simultaneously in a controlled-rate heated bath. Specify the number of stations, temperature range and heating-rate control. International Equipments supplies combined VSP/HDT apparatus meeting ASTM D648/D1525 and ISO 75/306.
