ASTM D1525 Test for Vicat Softening Temperature of Plastics

EUROLAB, together with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM D1525 testing. This standard covers the determination of the temperature at which a particular needle penetration occurs when samples are subjected to certain controlled test conditions.

This test method is not recommended for ethyl cellulose, non-rigid poly(vinyl chloride), poly(vinylidene chloride) or other materials with a wide Vicat softening range.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. No other unit is included in this standard.

Due to the potential safety and environmental hazards associated with mercury-filled thermometers, the use of liquid-in-glass thermometers and alternative temperature measuring devices (such as thermocouples and RTDs) containing mercury is encouraged; Since digital thermometers using the thermocouple of RTD sensors are encouraged.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
