My main concern about HDT test is that since its specifications are just conventional and arbitraty it fails to diffentiate between materials: depending on the conventional maximum allowed deflection material A can be better than B or just the opposite. HDT is not a material property as e.g the...
Thank you for your valuable posts.
I definitely agree about the lack of use of the HDT test data, since a lot of errors affect it (I never thought of the facts you point out though - thanks for that).
Unfortunately HDT is very often (if not always) the only information about the thermal...
Does anybody know if it is possible to find somewhere deflection vs time (i.e. temperature) curves recorded during HDT tests?
Do you know if actually the test apparatus to conduct such tests (and VICAT tests as well) usually allows to record such data instead of just the time/temperature at...
