Oil degradation control
The system constantly monitors the oil, alerts when the bath level is out of range and reports when oil degradation, that could adversely affect test results, has occurred. This feature helps reduce the risk of running invalid test and increases productivity.

Efficient Cooling
The HV Series is designed for superior cooling efficiency, rapidly returning the oil to the starting temperature after a test run. This allows the user to begin the next test with minimal wait time and reduces water consumption costs.

Advanced Electronic Technology
The advanced electronics on the HV Series automatically zero the position of the LVDT measuring sensors before starting a test, reducing test time and human errors.

Small Footprint
The HV Series compact design helps maximize valuable laboratory space resulting in enhanced testing efficiency.

Superior Results and Repeatability
Factory trained engineers provide comprehensive verifications, checking the dimensions of critical components and temperature behavior, to assure results are accurate and repeatable.

Protection of the Test Area
The full shield on the HV6X model restricts access during test execution, protecting the user from moving parts. It is the ideal solution for open access workplaces, where many testing instruments are simultaneously in use and a risk of test interruption exists.

Secured Test Access
Bluehill HV Software secures the test methods, preventing inadvertent changes, to ensure repeatability and standards compliance, over multiple shifts and numerous operators. The software suite allows for creation of specific user profiles based on the operator's level of expertise.

Maximum Temperature Control
The HV Series has a built-in temperature control system which limits the maximum temperature allowed for the oil bath. This helps conform to the specifications of each oil type, and prevents improper temperature settings that can generate dangerous fumes and inaccurate test results.

Effective Training Program
Instron engineers offer comprehensive on-site training courses to minimize operator's exposure to risk, improve efficiency, optimize the system's capabilities and to support the laboratory's health and safety policies to enhance the ownership experience.
