Vicat softening point thermometers are mainly used to measure the softening point of thermoplastics under specific conditions. Here are some basic facts about the Vicat Softening Point Thermometer:
How it works: It works by putting plastic into a specimen ring and then heating it at a certain heating rate. At a specific temperature, the plastic softens and bends to come into contact with the pressure pin. In this case, the temperature recorded by the instrument is the softening point of the plastic.
Test standard: The instrument is usually operated in accordance with the national standard (such as GB T 1633-2000).
Structural composition: The Vicat softening point temperature tester is mainly composed of a heating furnace, a sample ring, a pressure needle, a temperature measurement system and a recording device.
Features: The instrument has the advantages of easy operation and accurate test results, so it is widely used in plastic production, processing and quality inspection.
Precautions for use: During operation, attention should be paid to the accuracy of heating speed, the cleanliness of the specimen ring and pressure needle, and the accuracy of temperature to ensure the reliability of the test results.
Shanghai Aoying Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. Vicat softening point temperature tester is mainly used to determine the thermal properties such as softening point temperature and melting point of plastics, rubber, ceramics and other materials. This instrument is widely used for the determination of heat deflection temperature (HDT) and Vicat temperature (VST) of materials such as thermoplastics, ebonites and long-fiber reinforced composites.
In the process of measurement, the Vicat softening point temperature tester controls the temperature through the intelligent controller, and uses the grating high-precision dial indicator to measure the deformation, which can display the test curve and test status in real time, and realize the automation of the whole test process, including temperature control, collection deformation, process control, etc. In addition, the instrument can automatically record and save test data to form a complete test report.
The Vicat softening point thermometer offers the following advantages:
Easy to operate: The instrument has a simple and easy-to-understand operation interface, which is convenient for users to operate.
High accuracy: The instrument uses a high-precision measuring device to accurately measure the temperature of the softening point of the material.
High degree of automation: The instrument can realize the automation of the whole set of test processes, including temperature control, acquisition deformation, process control, etc., reducing human error and operation time.
Good reproducibility: The instrument can obtain highly consistent test results under the same test conditions.
Wide range of applications: The instrument is suitable for the softening point temperature determination of a variety of materials, such as plastics, rubber, ceramics, etc.
