The design of the LINSEIS TMA PT1000

Thermomechanical Analyzer guarantees highest precision, reproducibility and accuracy. The system was constructed to perform a variety of Thermomechanical experiments on an array of sample shapes and sizes over a wide temperature range to meet all TMA needs. The system can perform either static or dynamic measurements due to a built in force/frequency generator.

Typical materials under investigation are: composite materials, glass, polymers, ceramics and metals. The variety of measuring systems allows sample geometries such as fibers, rods, films, rods or cylinders.TMA modules TMA / DTMA Features
