    Thermal testing methods like HDT and VICAT are used to determine the heat deflection temperature of plastics under load. HDT tests involve supporting plastic samples in either a flatwise or edgewise position and applying a stress as the temperature increases at a set rate, measuring the deflection at set intervals to determine the temperature at which a sample bends a set amount under load. The conclusions summarize the test results and heat deflection temperatures of different plastic materials and configurations.
