Horizontal/vertical dilatometer for research applications

The horizontal dilatometer DIL L75 H was developed to meet the demands of the academic community and research laboratories worldwide. With this system, thermal expansion behavior of solids, liquids, powders and pastes for a variety of applications can be precisely determined. The unique design of this system guarantees highest precision, reproducibility and accuracy. This line of instruments is capable of performing measurements under vacuum, oxidizing and reducing atmospheres.

This system can be ordered in a single, dual or differential version for even higher precision or sample throughput. Optionally the mechanical and electronic components of the dilatometer can be separated to allow measurements in a glove box.

With our automatic pressure control, the contact pressure can be continuously varied between 10 and 1000 mN, depending on the application. This feature continuously controls the selected contact pressure throughout expansion and/or shrinkage of the sample.

The following physical properties can be measured:

• CTE
• Linear Thermal Expansion
• Alpha Physical
• Sintering Temperature
• Phase Transformations
• Softening Points
• Decomposition Temperatures
• Glass Transition Temperatures
