Thermo-Mechanical System – CEAST from Instron

The Instron series of CEAST Thermo-mechanical systems are built for characterizing the behavior of plastic materials at high temperatures, measuring the Vicat softening temperature (Vicat) and the heat deflection temperature (HDT). These HDT and VICAT testers range from very basic units for quality control labs to more innovative and automated systems.

Testing Systems

HV3S, HV6M, HV6X HDT and Vicat Testers

The design of the HV Systems and BLUEHILL^® HV Software is based on the total understanding of customers’ needs for both an improved user-experience and exceptional productivity, making materials testing simpler, safer, and smarter.
