Dilatometer DIL 402 PC

Thermoanalytical methods are widely used in all fields of materials characterization. Especially in the areas of ceramics and glasses, thermal methods such as pushrod dilatometry yield crucial information for the production of the materials and for their later application.

Pushrod dilatometry is a method for determination of dimensional chang-es versus temperature or time when the sample undergoes a controlled temperature program. The specific materials properties gathered from this, are as follows:

Analysis of

Thermal expansion
Coefficient of Thermal Expansion
Expansivity
Volumetric expansion
Density change
Sintering temperature and shrinkage steps
Glass transition temperatures
Softening points
Phase transitions
Influence of additives

The newly developed DIL 402 PC is especially tailored to the needs of the glass and ceramic industries. High resolution and stability, wide measurement range, robust and compact design are only some of the advantages of the new, cost-effective system. The system can be equipped with two furnaces, allowing measurements to be carried out from room temperature up to 1200°C or even up to 1600°C.

The system works according to nearly all national or international standards (e.g. DIN 51045 or ASTM 831).
