Model: Measure ODHT-HSM, Expert System Solutions

The equipment offers two operating modes:

Optical dilatometer:

It allows to obtain characteristic temperatures, expansion coefficients, glass transitions, alpha coefficient, sintering processes to be determined:

• room temperature to 1600°C
• heating rate up to 80°C/min
• static atmosphere
• specimens max. 15mm

Heating Microscope:

It allows to evaluate characteristic temperatures of a glass: sintering, softening, sphere, half-sphere, melting:

• room temperature to 1600°C
• heating rate up to 80°C/min
• static atmosphere

Model DSC404, Netzsch

It allows to determine the characteristic transformation temperatures, glass transitions, crystallinity, exo-endothermic effects, Cp, enthalpy.

• from room temperature to 1500°C
• static atmosphere
