HDT/VicatPlus Tester


The Davenport HDT/VICATPlus is designed to determine the temperature of deflection of thermoplastic samples in accordance with both national and international standards.

The unit consists of a temperature controlled oil bath, with up to six testing stations, each of 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 is lowered and raised in to the oil bath by electric motor under software control. The design of this assembly includes extensive safety features. The bath is closed off in the lower and upper positions, the oil surface only being exposed when the assembly is in motion. A nitrogen safety blanket is also fitted as standard. The unit functions as an independent unit, or can be PC controlled using NEXYGEN" software for the HDT/VICATPlus, Lloyd Instruments' advanced test and results analysis package.
