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.

DescriptionDIL 832 features an impressive array of unique technologies and capabilities that make of it the ideal tool in any R&D laboratory for the characterization of mechanical and dimensional properties: TA Instruments exclusive True Differential™ technology, the patented 1 nm resolution optical encoder, a... Read MoreThe DIL805 Series comprises of four models: DIL 805L, DIL 805A are quenching dilatometers, DIL 805A/D is a quenching with the capability to deform the specimen by compression, and DIL 805A/D/T that can also stretch it in tension mode.

All four instruments are fully automated, self-contained units

This optical dilatometric measurement method used in DIL 806 is an absolute process, entirely independent of any possible expansion or contraction of the instrument. Consequently, measured results do not need to be corrected or calibrated for different temperature programs. Coupled with the fast 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, ...
