Heat Deformation Tester

The plastics are prone to heat and get deformed easily. Therefore, it is very important to determine the property of plastic material to get deformed in high temperatures. To make sure that you deliver the right quality plastic materials to your customers, you can make use of the Presto Heat deformation tester. This is one of the amazing testing equipment that will help you to evaluate the temperature at which plastic or other composite specimens will get deformed under a given load. Thus, with the help of the Presto heat deformation tester, you will be able to test the distortion temperature under a certain load. This testing instrument is of utmost important for materials that are prone to get deformed under high temperatures. As a result, you will be able to assure about the quality products used. In the areas where product designing, engineering, manufacturing, and making the heat deformation products take place, this testing instrument plays a vital role there.

The Presto’s Heat Deformation Tester is designed as per ASTM D1525 – 09 and ASTM D648 – 07 to determine deflection temperature and Vicat softening temperature of plastics. The machine is equipped with two stations. Stainless steel is used for the construction of the inner bath and Mild Steel is used for the outside body with powder coating. With a solid promise of quality and innovation, Presto is involved in manufacturing Heat Deformation Tester. Our technocrats use qualitative mechanisms for producing the offered tester integrated with sophisticated technology. With excellent operational accuracy, the offered Heat Deformation Tester is extensively used to measure the deflection temperature and Vicat softening temperature of plastic materials. The main purpose of using this testing equipment is that you will be able to get complete information about the behavior of plastic materials at elevated temperatures. With excellent operational accuracy, the offered Heat Deformation Tester is extensively used to measure the deflection temperature and Vicat softening temperature of plastic materials.

In the bottle testing industry, the use of this testing instrument has been increased over the past several years. With the help of the Presto heat deformation tester, you will be able to predict the behavior of plastic bottles and check whether these bottles will get deformed under a certain temperature or not. This testing instrument consists of a digital dial gauge and a load of different weights and a small intender tip that will help you to detect the test deflection. Development of products and quality control can easily be determined with the help of this testing instrument. You can test the plastics with the load at elevated temperatures and test whether they get deformed or not. You will be able to deliver your products with precise measurements with the help of a Presto heat deformation tester.

When you purchase this testing instrument from Presto then its main unit contains a control panel, VSP indenter, water bath reservoir, HDT indenter, fixture, and dial gauge. To test the specimen with the help of this testing machine, you need to prepare the sample first. For this, you can take at least two rigid plastic samples that you will need to test. Measure the width and thickness of each specimen with a suitable digital thickness gauge at several points. Prepare the sample of the following size: Length – 127mm, Thickness – 3mm to 13mm, and width – 13mm.

Once you prepare the sample, then you need to place the sample accurately with this testing instrument. You should take out the aluminum fixture from the apparatus and position the test specimen edgewise in the apparatus and ensure that they are properly aligned on the spacers so that the direction of the testing force is perpendicular to the direction of the molding flow. Ensure that the sample is placed on the two spacers by maintaining the center. After that, you can easily commence the test. In this way, you can easily test the specimen with the help of a Presto heat deformation tester.
