RHEOLOGY, THERMO-MECHANICAL, AND MELT FLOW SYSTEMS

Hdt And Vicat Testers

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.

Capillary Rheometers

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.

Melt Flow Testers

Instron’s modular line of melt flow testers measures, with great accuracy, the MFR and MVR - basic data required for thermoplastic quality control in the rheology field.
