These instruments are used for the determination of the Vicat Softening Temperature (VST) on thermoplastics according to ISO 306.
No more annoying oil fumes!
The Vicat Dry instruments are very comfortable for testing and are especially used in research and development, but they are also used in incoming goods control and product monitoring. The oil free testing principle allows clean working without annoying fumes.
The test is performed fully automatically. According to requirements, there are instruments available with 2 or 6 testing stations. Set-up of the test sequence and test data representation are performed comfortably with connected PC (Option).
Advantages of the Vicat-Dry Instrument
- No need to use weights because the loading is automatic
- Comfortable PC-Control
- The instrument cools down rapidly, supported by a cryostatic temperature regulator with a closed cooling water circulation system
- Simple calibration of the path with final dimensions
- Little space required
- The small specimens are easy to handle
- Quick cooling down considerably increases the throughput as against oil Vicat test appliances
