With the Amsler Allround heat deflection tester, ZwickRoell offers a motorized HDT/Vicat tester with a fully automated test sequence for determining Vicat softening and heat deflection temperatures up to 300 °C to ISO and ASTM standards:

• Determination of the heat deflection temperature (HDT) according to ISO 75 parts 1 to 3 and ASTM D648 on thermoplastics, ebonite, as well as fiber-reinforced and filled curable plastics.
• Determination of the Vicat softening temperature (VST) according to ISO 306 and ASTM D1525 on thermoplastics and according to ISO 2507 on pipes and fittings made of thermoplastics.
• Determination of creep behavior under bending stress.

The heat deflection tester is designed for convenient testing in the fields of research and development, goods inwards checks and production monitoring. Depending on requirements, the instrument can be equipped with 2, 4 or 6 test stations, allowing HDT and Vicat tests to be carried out in parallel and independently.

The Amsler Allround heat deflection tester can be operated in standalone mode with touch display or in connection with a PC. With the testXpert testing software, a meaningful analysis of the results can be realized.
