Bluehill HV

Bluehill® HV Software makes HDT and Vicat testing faster and simpler. Designed specifically for Instron® HDT and Vicat testing systems, from previous generations to the current HV Series, it puts every step of the testing process in just a few clicks. Operators can run tests, edit methods, analyze results, and configure the system from one intuitive interface, spending less time on setup and more time testing, which helps increase laboratory efficiency and throughput.

Main Features of Bluehill HV Software

Test Method Compliance

Create ISO and ASTM test templates with smart default values, so users are ready to test with minimal setup time. Bluehill HV Software also provides the ability to test samples to different methods simultaneously, helping to optimize throughput.

Analysis of Test Results

Test data, graphs, and inputs are shown on a single screen, allowing users to analyze results at a glance. Set acceptance criteria to automatically reject out-of-tolerance samples, and create report templates with minimal effort. Export and print test reports, or send test data to a LIMS or to TrendTracker® software.
