Heat Deflection Temperature and Vicat Tester(HDT/VICAT)
With reliable quality and advanced technology,
we deliver solutions optimized to meet a wide range of customer needs.

Thermal deformation softening point tester is an instrument that measures the thermal deformation of hard plastics and the temperature of non-cart softening point of thermoplastic according to constant load and temperature changes.
Testing by international standards other than ISO 75, ISO 306, ASTM D648, and ASTM 1526
Fully automated test cycle support
Installation of air bearing guide method to prevent friction of load piston
Precisely measuring bending deformation and press-fitting sides up to 0.001 mm (0.001 in) using an electric conversion device
Water-cooled circulation (inside heat exchanger) supports fast temperature drop rate after completion of the test
Use air to support the test station's one-touch up-down function (test piece, easy to attach and detach)
