Thermal analyzers are used to measure mechanical properties as a function of temperature or time. Numerous types of thermal analyzers are available such as simultaneous thermal analyzers, dynamic mechanical analyzers, thermogravimetric analyzers, thermomechanical analyzers, and many more. For a high throughput lab with a need for both thermogravimetric and calorimetric data, consider a simultaneous thermal analyzer as this can provide simultaneous data for both measurements under the same testing conditions. Many materials testing laboratories opt for dynamic mechanical analyzers for their ability to accurately analyze the mechanical and viscoelastic properties of various materials including polymers, thermoplastics, and metals. When comparing thermal analysis equipment some key considerations to keep in mind could be temperature precision, accuracy, and many other application-specific specifications. Thermal analyzers have a wide range of applications in materials testing, pharmaceutical testing, food testing, and many other applications.

| Description | The DynTHERM TGA is an advanced gravimetric instrument featuring a patented* Magnetic Suspension Balance that enables measurement of weight changes of materials under high pressure, in the presence of a variety of gases, vapors, or steam, from room temperature to 1550°C. | The new RSA-G2 is the most advanced platform for mechanical analysis of solids. The separate motor and transducer technology of the RSA-G2 insures the purest mechanical data through independent control of deformation and measurement of stress. It is capable of performing the most accurate DMA The new RSA-G2 is the most advanced platform for mechanical analysis of solids. The separate motor and transducer technology of the RSA-G2 insures the purest mechanical data through independent control of deformation and measurement of stress. It is capable of performing the most accurate DMA measurements as well as many additional experiments including creep and recovery, stress relaxation, stress ramps, strain rate ramps, iso-strain, iso-force, fatigue, multi-wave, arbitrary waveform, and dielectric thermal analysis. With such a broad range of solid analysis techniques, the RSA-G2 is uniquely positioned to address the widest range of applications from the R&D bench to the quality control lab. This new high-performance instrument represents the fourth generation of dual head mechanical analyzers, featuring a new force convection oven for precise and accurate temperature control, extensive array of geometries to accommodate the widest range of sample shapes and stiffness, and immersion testing capability. In addition, the RSA-G2 doubles as a DETA, or Dielectric Thermal Analyzer, for stand-alone or simultaneous measurements....
