CEAST HDT/Vicat Tester Testing Services

How Our Lab Uses the CEAST HDT/Vicat Tester

Test specimens are heated under an applied stress in an oil bath at a programmed heating rate. The temperature at which the specimens deflect is recorded. In the HDT Test, a specimen utilizes a three-point flexural stress state. The Vicat test uses a cylindrical probe to indent the specimen.

Common Applications

  • heat deflection temperature (deflection temperature under load)

  • Vicat softening point

Operating Ranges Offered

Stress 0.455 MPa, 1.8 MPa, 8.0 MPa
Temperature ambient to 280°C

Get Started

  1. Share your requirements

    Tell us about the material, application, environment, and any method, standard, specimen, or conditioning constraints.

  2. Confirm the approach

    We’ll align the appropriate method, specimen requirements, and deliverables to your objectives, then provide a quote and test plan.

  3. Submit your PO and materials

    Send the purchase order and arrange delivery of materials or specimens so the program can move into scheduling and execution.

  4. Receive your results

    You’ll receive an engineering test report with digital data delivery, along with any agreed raw data or method-appropriate outputs.

    Typical turnaround for most testing is five business days. Longer-duration programs may require more time.
