Heat Resistance Evaluation Testers
No.148-HD HEAT DISTORTION TESTER
Related Test Standards: JIS K7191-1、K7206、ASTM D648、D1525、ISO 75-1、306

- This tester is used to evaluate the heat resistance of plastic.
- By loading specified bending stress to the test specimen while increasing the test temperature of the oil bath at a certain rate, the operator is to report the temperature at which the test specimen reaches standard deflection.
- The tester can also conduct the VICAT softening temperature test.
- A space-saving tabletop model (No.148-HD-T) is also available.
