VICAT & HDT Testing Apparatus

VICAT & HDT Testers for Thermoplastic Materials

Techlab Systems VICAT and Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) Testing Apparatus under its METROTEC brand are designed to evaluate the thermal behaviour of thermoplastic materials under controlled testing conditions.

VICAT testing determines the softening temperature of thermoplastics, while HDT testing measures the temperature at which a material reaches a specified deformation under a defined load.

METROTEC VICAT & HDT Testing Apparatus

VICAT and HDT tests are important methods for characterizing thermoplastic materials and evaluating their performance at elevated temperatures. METROTEC testing apparatus provides controlled conditions for conducting these thermal property tests in laboratory and quality-control environments.

Key Features

  • VICAT softening temperature testing
  • Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) testing
  • Designed for thermoplastic material characterization
  • Controlled thermal testing conditions
  • Suitable for laboratory quality control
  • Supports evaluation of material performance at elevated temperatures

VICAT Softening Temperature Test

The VICAT softening temperature indicates the temperature at which a thermoplastic specimen reaches a specified level of penetration under defined test conditions.

VICAT testing is used to compare the softening behaviour of thermoplastic materials and is an important parameter for material characterization and quality control.

Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) Test

The Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) indicates the temperature at which a thermoplastic specimen reaches a specified deformation while subjected to a defined load.

HDT testing helps evaluate the temperature resistance and dimensional performance of thermoplastic materials under load.
