Hot Deformation Apparatus

Apparatus Features:

Sturdy Vertical Stand: For precise sample positioning

Loading Hook & Weights: Applies controlled pressure on the heated sample

Metal Rod with Pointer: To measure deformation (thickness change)

Flat Base Platform: Provides stability during testing

Simple Manual Design: Easy to operate in any lab setting

Applications:

PVC insulation and sheath materials

Thermoplastic cable jackets

Polymer material research

Heat-resistance quality control tests

Test Method Overview:

Heat the test specimen to a specific elevated temperature (using a separate oven).

Mount the sample under the loading hook with pre-measured weights.

Maintain the setup for a defined time.

Observe and record the extent of deformation (typically a reduction in thickness).
