Description
The HDT/Vicat Allround instruments have been designed for comfortable testing in research and development, incoming goods control, product monitoring as
well as for education and training purposes. Various
instruments with up to 6 testing stations are available.
testXpert® II enables convenient parametrization of the
test sequence and display of test values.
Automatic test sequence
As soon as the immersion liquid has reached the
starting temperature, the specimens are placed in the
testing stations and manually lowered into the bath.
The next step is to place the test weight, called for by
the standard, manually or optionally motorized, and
then start the test sequence from the PC Software.
After pretempering while under load, the travel signals
are set to zero by the program, and the heating of the
immersion liquid is started with the preset heating rate.
As soon as the required flexure, edge fiber extension
or penetration is achieved at all stations, the heating is
switched off and the test is ended.
The cooling of the immersion liquid is started automatically by the program via magnetic valve and then the
specimens can be taken out of the bath.
