HDT/VICAT Systems offer Heat Distortion Temperature (HDT) and Vicat Softening Point of plastic materials. The HDV3 System offers sophisticated control using Windows based software. The software provides control and analysis for two to six stations on multiple HDV3. The simple setup page allows the operator to run either industry-defined or custom-defined test methods. ASTM Methods D648 and D1525 and also ISO 75 and 306 methods are programmed into the software.

When using one or more of these tests, the operator only needs to select the test method and all other specifications appear automatically. The software is capable of performing any combination of HDT and VICAT tests, provided that temperature rise rates for the bath are identical for the different tests. The software also calculates exact specimen loading based on specimen dimensions. Simple and precise, the software provides foolproof test setup.
