Specification

The Davenport HDT/ VICATPlus instrument is designed to determine the temperature deflection of thermoplastic samples to national and international standards.
The unit consists of a temperature controlled oil bath, with six selectable testing stations, which may be configured for either HDT or VICAT test methods. The weight loading mechanism and test fixture mountings are designed as a single unit, which safeguards the operator by preventing contact with the heating medium.

Performs tests to national and international standards:
VICAT: EN ISO 306, ASTM D1525-98 1/ 10, BS 2782
Part 1: Method 120C 1990
HDT: EN ISO 75-1 and 75-2, ASTM D648-98C
