Hot Set Test | Heat Pressure Test

This test is used to determine whether the material used in insulation is sufficiently crosslinked or not. The purpose of this test is clearly to assess the degree of crosslinking achieved in the plastic used for extrusion.

The test result informatively shows the extent of crosslinking between Carbon and hydrogen molecules of a hydrocarbon used as plastic here.

The norm suggests using dumbbell samples marked with 20 mm or 10mm distance in the middle of the sample equally distant from the center.

Upon putting the samples with prescribed weight, temperature, and clips to hang and time required, the elongation is measured in the sample to understand the degree of crosslinking.

Afterward, it is also possible to do a permanent set test of the same sample to evaluate the thermoset behavior of the plastic used. It is noted that the thermoset behavior depends on the crosslinking as well and it is directly proportional.
