Thermal Analysis Equipment
Thermal analysis helps to study the properties of materials when subjected to varying temperatures. Thermal Analysis techniques are used in any field where changes in sample behavior can be observed under controlled heating or controlled cooling conditions. Thermal analysis can be useful in a variety of fields, from pharmacy and foods to polymer science, materials and glasses.
Dimension, mass, volume, gaseous decomposition and heat and temperature difference are the properties of materials that undergo change with change in temperatures. Thermal analysis equipment is used to study the change in physical properties of materials when subjected to controlled cooling and heating.
Most commonly used thermal equipment is the Differential Thermal Analyzer used for measuring temperature difference. It offers a wide range of information with superior resolution and baseline superiority making it ideal equipment for material development, R&D and quality control.
Dil Dilatometer is yet thermal equipment that measures volume when materials are subjected to temperature change. The measuring system employs high resolution inductive displacement transducers and allows long term stability. Dilatometers are used in the making metallic alloys, compressed refractory compounds, glasses, ceramic products, composite materials and plastics.
Many other thermal analysis devices available these days are TGA Thermogravimetric Analyzer, TGA Thermomechanical Analyzer and DEA Dielectric Analyzer.
