BPVK Vicat Softening Point Temperature Tester (Standard Vicat)

Product Description

This instrument is designed to determine the heat deflection temperature (HDT) and Vicat softening point (VST) of non-metallic materials such as plastics, hard rubber, nylon, electrical insulating materials, long fiber reinforced composites, and high-strength thermosetting laminates. With user-friendly operation and precise control, it is a highly intelligent and advanced testing device.

Applicable Standards

Compliant with the following standards:
GB/T 1633, GB/T 8802, GB/T 1634, ISO 2507, ISO 75, ISO 306, ASTM D1525, ASTM D648, and others.

Key Features

Multiple Safety Protections: Equipped with mechanical and software-based over-temperature protection switches to ensure safe testing.

High-Precision Measurement & Control:
Uses a grating digital dial gauge for accurate deformation measurement.
Temperature is controlled via PID algorithm combined with a fully opto-isolated phase-control module.
Heating rate deviation is kept under 0.5°C.
