Thermal Expansion Coefficient Tester

The Thermal Expansion Coefficient Tester DIL0809PC features a user-friendly horizontal design allowing easy sample loading and operation, even for non-ideal sample sizes. The device is equipped with a thermocouple placed close to the sample for temperature measurement, ensuring measurement repeatability without the need for additional thermal equilibrium equipment. The system is capable of measuring solid, molten metal, powder, and coating samples while observing dimension changes as a function of temperature or time.

Applications are diverse, ranging from inorganic ceramics and metal materials to plastics and refractory composites. The instrument complies with ASTM and DIN standards, suitable for linear expansion, glass transition detection, and thermal treatment optimization studies. It also offers automatic features for compensation calculations and dynamic adjustments during sintering processes.

Aided by differential sensor technology and a broad temperature range, this dilatometer supports both research and industrial quality control tasks, with software capabilities including rate-controlled sintering options to optimize sample shrinkage rates. The tester facilitates automatic data recording, storing, and printing of temperature-expansion coefficient curves.
