HDT - Heat deflection / distortion

The HDT test is used in industries such as electrical and packaging to determine the temperature at which polymers and plastic materials start to deform under a given load at high heat.

Check out our VICAT Softening Point Apparatus, with its interior volume design studied in a way that ensures a perfect thermal change, both heating and cooling.

HDT testing machine need calibrating? AML’s engineers are trained to ensure the machine is calibrated to the manufacturer’s guidelines and is delivering accurate deflection, loading, and temperature measurements.
