A revolutionary instrument for HDT and VICAT tests on the newest techno-polymers at temperatures from 50°C to up to 500°C.
Using fluidised bed technology, in place of the traditional oil bath, up to three samples can be tested simultaneously in independent test stations.
Easy use and environmental friendliness combine to make this instrument ideal for research and quality control applications.
Available as a stand-alone instrument, controlled by microprocessor and soft-touch keyboard, the HDT VICAT 500 ALOXIDE may also be PC controlled using the dedicated software VisualTHERM.
Meets ISO, ASTM, and other standards.

CEAST program for measuring of the thermal properties of materials include a wide range of instruments and with particular reference to the determination of the HDT (heat deflection temperature) and the Vicat softening temperature, CEAST is proposing a new generation of instruments, oil free, able to test materials at temperatures up to 500°C. These instruments (Vicat 500-D, HDT Vicat 500 Aloxide) were designed to meet the growing demand for testing on the new advanced high performances materials appeared on the market (i.e. PEEK).
