Dilatometer / Dilatometry (DIL)

Dilatometry (DIL) measures volume changes caused by physical and chemical processes. They are used in manufacturing, engineering, materials science, and chemistry labs. When working with a dilatometer, the first step is to load the sample into the machine. The sample is subjected to physical or chemical processes, most often in the form of heating from a furnace, and a sensor picks up on the volume changes.

Dilatometers can be used to calculate a material's coefficient of thermal expansion, softening point, glass transition temperature, Curie point, crystalline transformation, phase transition, and amount of shrinkage. When purchasing dilatometry equipment, it is important to consider the type of material that will be tested, the method of capture for measurements, and the software used.

The best value for money for single sample direct measurement for routine evaluation

Suitable for a wide range of routine dilatometric tests, the DIL 801 and DIL 801L are horizontally configured single-sample dilatometers. The DIL 801 is designed for measurements under vacuum or inert gas while the

Two-samples simultaneous operation to maximize productivity without comprises on results.

To maximize sample throughput, DIL 803 and DIL 803L offers two-samples simultaneous operation. DIL803 and DIL 803L can also be operated with an inert reference sample for quasi-differential measurement, reducing

The 820 Series operate in a vertical orientation, making it uniquely set up for the analysis of sintering, studies in Rate Controlled Sintering (RCS) mode and the determination of dilatometric parameters of samples otherwise difficult to be analyzed on classic dilatometers with horizontal design.

With a proven record of hundreds of units installed globally in the laboratories of the most prominent Companies and Universities in the ceramics, metals and energy markets, Heating Microscopes Misura® 3 HSM and Misura® 3 HSML study the behaviour of a material subjected to a thermal treatment, ...
