| Applications | Measuring melt mass-flow rate (MFR), melt volume-flow rate (MVR), flow rate ratio (FRR) of thermoplastics Quality control of plastic raw materials; process optimization; incoming material acceptance; comparing batches; R&D of polymer compounds Thermo-mechanical testing (TMF): testing components (e.g. turbine blades / structures) under simultaneous temperature and mechanical loading to assess fatigue, creep, deformation under cyclic thermal/mechanical stresses. |
HDT and Vicat test systems are used to characterize the behavior of plastic materials at high temperatures, measuring the heat deflection temperature (HDT) and the Vicat softening temperature (Vicat). The design of the HV systems and Bluehill HV software is based on the full understanding of customers’ needs for both an enhanced user experience and outstanding productivity, making materials testing simpler, smarter, and safer.
Instron’s bench top capillary rheometers are suitable for both quality control and research & development laboratories. With a velocity ratio of 1:500,000 corresponding to a piston speed of 0.0024 to 1200 mm/min, they perform tests with unlimited steps constant speed, meeting ISO, ASTM, and equivalent standards.
