Vicat Softening Point (VSP) Tester: Essential Thermal Analysis for Plastics

The Vicat Softening Point (VSP) Tester is a precision instrument used to determine the temperature at which thermoplastic materials begin to soften under a specific load and heating rate. This standardized test provides critical data for material selection and quality control in elevated temperature applications.

Key Features & Benefits

• Precision Temperature Control: Maintains accurate heating rates and temperature measurement, ensuring reliable and repeatable test results.

• Standard Compliance: Manufactured to meet international standards including ISO 306, ISO 75, GB/T 1633, and GB/T 1634, providing globally recognized test data.

• Differentiated Thermal Analysis: Specifically measures the temperature at which plastic specimens lose form stability, complementing Heat Distortion Temperature (HDT) testing which focuses on load-bearing capacity.

• Material Development Support: Delivers essential data for plastic formulation and characterization, enabling improved material performance in thermal applications.

• User-Friendly Operation: Features intuitive controls and clear data display, simplifying the testing process for quality control and research applications.
