.
Ventilation and stabilityEnsure a stable testing environment, avoid direct sunlight, heat sources, and vibration1
.
Operating Specifications:
Parameter SettingsAccurately set test parameters based on material type and standard requirements1
.
safe operationTo prevent burns, avoid touching the instrument randomly during the testing process1
.
data recordingClosely observe temperature and displacement changes, accurately record test results1
.
By strictly controlling the above factors, the testing accuracy of the hot deformation Vicat softening point tester can be effectively improved, ensuring the reliability and repeatability of the results.
