The PVT500 measures the material-specific correlation of volume, pressure and temperature in accordance with ISO 17744 - a decisive factor for the precise design of forms and the simulation of injection molding processes.

It enables both isothermal and isobaric measurements.

In isothermal tests, the specific volume is determined at a constant temperature as a function of pressure.

Isobaric measurements keep the pressure constant and measure the volume during cooling - a method that comes very close to the real production process in injection molding.

Thanks to the innovative compressed air cooling, the PVT500 achieves higher temperatures of up to 500°C and cooling rates of up to 30 K/min - significantly faster and more flexible than conventional thermostats.
