Vicat Softening Point Apparatus High Temperature - For Testing Lab
Vicat softening temperature of plastics is the temperature at which a
standard flat-ended indentor penetrates 1 mm into the surface of the
material under test under a specified load. The test is conducted by
placing a test specimen taken from the sample under test on a flat
platform inside a liquid bath and applying compression load over its
upper face through a flat-ended indentor. The load is applied by placing
dead weights on the upper end of the indentor. After the test specimen
attains the temperature of the bath, the bath temperature is increased
gradually till the indentor penetrates by exactly 1 mm into the test
specimen. The bath temperature in degrees centigrade at which this
happens is reported as the Vicat Softening Temperature of the sample
under test.
The Vicat Softening Temperature Apparatus
for plastics consists of a hinged metallic frame which serves as
support for the test specimen. The frame is fitted with a bush for
guiding a rod with a hardened indenting tip at its lower end and a
loading platform near its top to place the weights on. A dial gauge is
fitted at the upper end of the frame to measure the movement of the rod.
The parts that are immersed in the bath during the test are made from
brass. The indentor is made from high speed steel.
